here is what i want to do:
i am using the ports framework to automate
a process which overwrites/deletes some existing
files of installed packages.
overwriting is not a problem and deleting these
mutilated packages with pkg_delete -q is ok
too. but how can i delete some existing files
before the package is actually installed?
the very practical example of this is updating
the lm fonts in the old tetex packages.
filenames have changed, so the best is to delete
certain directories and i tried with exec in PLIST
@exec rm -rf
/usr/local/share/texmf-dist/fonts/{afm,opentype,tfm,type1}/public/lm
@exec rm -rf /usr/local/share/texmf-dist/fonts/{enc,map}/dvips/lm
but this fails miserably because conflicts are detected
much sooner.... Marc? :]
