[-- Attachment #1 --] Ronald Klop: > This makes me think of the /usr/ports/MOVED construction. Maybe > something similar can be useful for base pkgs. ideally this isn't something we want to be doing on an ongoing basis. at the moment there are a number of files that are installed in the wrong package by accident (usually in -utilities, because that's the default package) or that are deliberately installed in -utilities but would be better in their own package. i'm trying to fix all of these prior to the 15.0 release so that people who install a release version don't have to deal with this. if we want to do something like this again after 15.0-RELEASE then we will need to come up with a better solution. we could also do with some sort of metapackage / package groups system, so you can easily install a workload like "development tools" and also get new packages for that workload when you upgrade... i believe the pkg(8) people are working on something like this, or at least would like to work on it if they have time :-) [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEABYKAB0WIQSyjTg96lp3RifySyn1nT63mIK/YAUCaDbehgAKCRD1nT63mIK/ YNp7AP4vA9dxrva2/tTq+8FuIIPEXEnriF5N5YQ/e01NFPO1WwEAzNi3qUkQj73Y 6/a/6TVACxaOpUXUO8p8p08zFrJeuwg= =aHEv -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
