Again, it's an extremely limited feature and people should only use it if they understand absolutely what their responsibilties in terms of post-extraction cleanup and permissions are. I would even go so far as to suggest that any package which attempts to use this must test its install/deinstall actions in a pristene chroot tree and that this tree be scanned pre-and-post for both operations, all to ensure that the package does exactly what it should do and no more or less. The package maintainer gets way less hand-holding if they use this feature! > Can we discuss this privately with the aim of you committing it? Sobomax > seems too busy... I'll review it, sure, also hoping that you can also come up with a real-life usage scenario which makes it really clear just why someone would want to have this.. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
