Yes, aki wrote it and yes, I thought it should solve the problems. It did not seem to work. I'll get you a copy. Oh wait look here. http://9grid.net/magic/webls?dir=/aki/src/cmd i sure do miss aki. Can you try the rbind thing and see if I got something wrong? Would be *very* nice to leave the files in the .iso and just bind things. > If I can come up with a general set of commands to revert > a given package à la history(1)/yesterday(1), I would put > a set of those commands in /installed/$i when the package > is installed. Then you just pass it to rc and you're golden. I don't think that's good enough. It's fine for standalone packages. But consider hg. It depends on 3 or 4 things. Should you track that stuff too, and not remove python is hg is installed? If python creates 'x', and hg creates 'x', should you remove x if you remove HG? and so on ... This is what makes tracking packages so ugly. It gets ugly fast. I would just as soon mount the .iso's and do binds. ron
