I missed a previous thread about this, sorry, but looking closer at the issue, I do see that having a way to install unmanaged files from the command line could be a good thing. But I still think it should not be part of SymlinkProgram. I don't think copying files around the system is conceptually a task for SymlinkProgram. One could start imagining complex schemes for handling unmanaged files, kind of like UpdateSettings, but unmanaged files are, well, unmanaged. :) The very point of having "unmanaged files" was the realization that there is no good way to manage them, so I'm skeptical about schemes for automating their control... The changes offering to remove files in RemoveProgram look good, but I fear we won't be able to go much further than that. :\ -- Hisham _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
