Split portA into multiple ports that install the libraries and binaries and what-not separately, then create a meta-port that installs all of the new portA ports. Then create portB and have it CONFLICT with the portA-whatever port so that it's a drop-in replacement (uninstall portA-whatever, install portB). -- Freddie Cash fjwc...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
