Is pkg_deleting a port and then reinstalling it the best/only way to upgrade a port when the software involved has gone up a version? If so, maybe the packing list should mark some files as ``hard'' that should stay after a pkg_delete, perhaps if a ``keep hard'' flag has been given. For ports that install stuff that should stay across an upgrade. -- ________________ _______________________________ / Nathan Dorfman V PGP: finger nathan@rtfm.net / / nathan@rtfm.net | http://www.rtfm.net /
