pkg-1.3 comment and questions
Hello, First the comment: I've also noticed that checking for out-of-date packages now takes 3 to 5 times longer than it used to. I've never used an INDEX before, as it didn't seem to offer me anything I needed/wanted. Is it considered (almost) a requirement now? Second, how do I delete a single package that has dependencies without deleting the dependencies? For example, UPDATING says libevent1 has been replaced by libevent2 via the compatibility layer. All applications that used libevent1 must be rebuilt. Please remove libevent1 before upgrading, by running: pkg delete libevent If I try 'pkg delete libevent', pkg wants to delete no only libevent but every other package that requires libevent. It's as if the recursive flag is now on by default and I can't find any way to turn it off. 'pkg help delete' doesn't offer anything. I don't have a pkg.conf file installed anywhere (that I can find, anyway).
