It sounds like a good feature if someone has time to work on it. In fact, I think someone did a Google summer of code project on it last summer, though they were not very active on this list proposing design or initial patches. I imagine that the people on this list would be happy to help out with anyone working on that. As a first step in reviving the effort, maybe it would make sense to describe what effect a declared diversion should have at each stage of the package installation and removal process. What happens at preinst, postinst, prerm, and postrm time? Especially: what happens during upgrades to a version without the diversion? What happens if two packages declare a diversion for the same file? Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
