See BACKUP_LIBRARIES in pkg.conf(5). We should consider making it the
default.
I have some WIP to make it configurable per-repository so that we can
enable it by default only for pkgbase repositories to avoid too much of
a disruption. IMO a prerequisite to enabling it by default is also
making the pkg it archives them into configurable (and per-repo), so
that we can maintain a clean separation between base-archived-libs and
ports-archived-libs if both end up enabled.
markj also noted that the pkg solver has a little bit of a flaw here, in
that it doesn't take into account BACKUP_LIBRARIES when it develops its
plan. The local pkg-removal-oops could've been mitigated with it if pkg
would have counted its backup to another package as maintaining the
shlib dependency. Resolving that wouldn't be strictly necessary, though.
Thanks,
