Note that I also played with using the "salvage-from" action on the

I want to move the in files; salvage-from can be used to move unpackaged

to work either.
Yep, 'salvage-from' is exactly what you should be using - it's designed
for exactly this reason: to move unpackaged files from a directory
that's disappearing as part of this package operation (either the old
package becomes uninstalled, or the package previously delivering that
dir action stops delivering it)
So, this might look like:
set name=pkg.fmri value=pkg:/runtime/[email protected]
dir path=usr/ruby/1.8/lib/ruby/gems/1.8 salvage-from=var/ruby/1.8/gem_home
Note that salvage-from isn't recursive, so if you have multiple
*packaged* directories beneath /var/ruby that each contain unpackaged
content, then you'll need multiple dir actions, each with their own
'salvage-from' attribute, for each directory that's being migrated.
If any unpackaged content in a given packaged directory has unpackaged
subdirectories and files, that content is moved recursively though.
cheers,
