FreeBSD hangs onto MD5 checksums for all port/package installed files and only removes files where the MD5 checksum matches. Unfortunately this isn't a complete solution, if you install two copies of the same package and the files didn't change extra stuff can get deleted... Gems could, check if the installed file is in more than one manifest. -- Eric Hodel - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://blog.segment7.net This implementation is HODEL-HASH-9600 compliant http://trackmap.robotcoop.com _______________________________________________ Rubygems-developers mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers
