Can this be tricked into merging multiple installed versions of a port ? I have 2 python versions installed : python-2.3.5_1 python-2.4.3 The python-2.3.5_1 is only required by (pkg_info -R python-2.3.5_1): libgnomeprintui-2.12.1_1 planner-0.13_3 I want to try forcing those to use python-2.4.3 . Can this be done using portmaster ? It looks similar to the '-o' option. But (as expected) portmaster -o lang/python python-2.3.5_1 wants to build and install python-2.4.3 and bombs out when it finds out it is already installed. I can of course set FORCE_PKG_REGISTER, but I think a small check upfront to the -o option makes sense (skip building/installing the 'new' port when it is already installed). What do you think ? regards, Hans Lambermont _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
