This is a lot of work and I already have a giant diff, so I'm not going to add to it for now. Once the update is in, the thing to try will be to update from 4.6 pkg to current, see how it goes and fix from there. For now, I'm already to deep into the mess... -- Antoine

Does ports framework allow to write PLIST in that way, when
subpackages are merged into one package, pkg_add(1) will know to remove
obsolet packages and install newer package without erroring out with
conflict error like in above example? I was pretty sure that this was
possible, but I'm failing to write correct PLIST for that.

I'm attaching updated patch as an example what I mean.

Re: merge some gstreamer plugins
Hi,
There is laftover in CVS:
cd multimedia/gstreamer-0.10/plugins-good && \
cvs rm pkg/PLIST-gconf
I had some issues with update of my system:
# pkg_add -ri gstreamer-plugins-bad
Can't install gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.7p9 because of conflicts
(gstreamer-xvid-0.10.7p4,gstreamer-sdl-0.10.7p6,gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.7p6,gstreamer-faad-0.10.7p3,gstreamer-faac-0.10.7p3,gstreamer-musepack-0.10.7p3,gstreamer-tremor-0.10.7p3)
/usr/sbin/pkg_add: gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.7p9:Fatal error
I thought that attached file should fix above issue, but it doesn't. I
still have the same error with packages created from my diff.
What I am missing?
