* Right from day one, the two ports overwrote each other's files, and
* uninstalling one would leave the other one non-functional.
I took a look, the conflicting files are:
bin/xpmroot
man/man1/*
include/X11/pixmaps/*
Doesn't seem like we can fix this easily.
* Is there a "preferred" way of saying to not install the two versions
* at once on the same machine? (like the different versions of tcl/tk
* which overwrite include files like /usr/local/include/tk.h etc)
The only thing I can think of is to add a script to warn users before
pkg_add and pkg_delete. You can use pkg/REQ, which is called from
both (no, praise Jordan for that). You can even add the following to
the Makefile:
pre-install:
@/bin/sh ${PKGDIR}/REQ ${PKGNAME} INSTALL
;)
