I have nupas from a long time back and recently decided to run contrib/install quanstro/nupas
However, it seems that the nupas package has since been moved from nupas to overwrite the base upas, along with base files in /sys/man, other src directories (faces, etc.) and some files in /mail/lib. In short, my upas install is now botched with a mix of stuff from quanstro/nupas that could be updated, and a lot of missing stuff. I don't have a problem with overwriting completely, since nupas has been working so well for me for so long, but now I'm left in the cold with no proper upas or nupas (the old /386/bin/nupas was also removed during the pull). As such, I tried a subsequent pull with the -s flag to list directories I would like updated, but pull thinks everything is up to date, so it makes no action. Then I tried my hand at contrib/remove quanstro/nupas | rc contrib/install quanstro/nupas but of course that brings me back to where I was with the first contrib/pull. And of course a subsequent pull doesn't do anything, as described above. So, how to resolve this mess and finally install the nupas package? It'd also be nice if somehow files in /mail/lib and other places where installed without hassle (though I'd like to keep some custom configs there).
