Then D2 becomes available for deletion only after M and N have been deleted or no more require it. I don't see a big problem here. Perhaps it is however a problem for the notion of transaction, since a group of ports flagged for deletion by a transaction cannot be entirely removed after some time when part of it is needed by other ports. This means one needs to keep a very complete and detailed data basis of the operations, of course. By the way, on the course of time, ports belonging on a transaction are upgraded, may change name (according to the MOVED file) so one also have to continually update this information in the data basis. -- Michel TALON _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
