Kris, I don't think I agree with one of the changes that went in to
bsd.port.mk today. I'm trying to do an upgrade of libgtkhtml from 2.2.2
to 2.2.3. When I do such things, I install the new port to an alternate
PREFIX while keeping the old version around. With the recent changes, I
can no longer do this. The ports system informs me that:
=3D=3D=3D> Installing for libgtkhtml-2.2.3
=3D=3D=3D> libgtkhtml-2.2.3 is already installed - perhaps an older versio=
n?
If so, you may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install
this port again by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
If you really wish to overwrite the old port of libgtkhtml-2.2.3
without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
in your environment or the "make install" command line.
*** Error code 1
When, in fact, it is not installed. libgtkhtml-2.2.2 is installed. The
change in question is at line 2879 (the check to see if another port
with this ports origin is installed [ports/48646]). Yes, I can set
FORCE_PKG_REGISTER, but when I go to make deinstall, it now removes
_both_ ports. I'd like to request this, and possibly the smarter make
deinstall be backed out.
Joe
