So, about halfway through pkg_add texlive... (i.e. hours) the line drops.
(Thank you, embarq). I am left with a "partial-texlive..." package.
About all I saw on the 'net was to pkg_delete the partial-texlive... thing
then start from scratch. Now consider that the mean time my dsl line
is up (thank you, embarq) might be less than the time to install the package.
This would imply that it will be very difficult to ever install it. I would be
better off grabbing source, and building from ports. (getting source can
be resumed if you're clever, using wget -c, manually). Or I could manually
wget the compiled packages and install from my private ftp site on the lan.
One other webcomment was one of those @#...@# terse, clever tweet-style
snarky unhelps which said
pkg_add -F conflicts name-of-package
and nothing else. Will this actually resume installation or will it start from
scratch?
The man page says that it is safe to interrupt a pkg_add with your signal
of choice, but doesn't say what it means by "safe".
So is there a way to actually resume installation of an openbsd package?
I note with some shame that for Fedora and yum, the answer is "yes",
and the method is "just do it".
Thanks,
Dave
