Comment (by pierre.labastie):
Actually, symlinking is Arch linux's solution (they use DESTDIR of
course):
{{{
rm -r "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/tcl8.6/graphviz"
ln -s ../graphviz/tcl "$pkgdir/usr/lib/tcl8.6/graphviz"
}}}
What I could propose (but cannot test):
{{{
if [ ! -h /usr/lib/tcl8.6/graphviz && -d /usr/lib/tcl8.6/graphviz ]; then
for path in $(echo /usr/lib/tcl8.6/graphviz/*); do
file=$(basename $path)
if [ ! -e "/usr/lib/graphviz/tcl/$file" ]; then
mv $path /usr/lib/graphviz/tcl/$file
fi # otherwise, we assume the files are the same. I guess diffing
would be overkill.
done
rm -r /usr/lib/tcl8.6/graphviz
ln -s ../graphviz/tcl /usr/lib/tcl8.6/graphviz
fi
}}}
So, if /usr/lib/tcl8.6/graphviz has been populated by other packages, we
copy the files to the other directory and do the symlink. If it is already
a symlink (or the directory does not exist,which is unlikely after
installing graphviz), we do nothing. OTOH, why not just keep the
duplicates?
