Lately, mostly with ruby/RoR stuff I've manually installed some things such as gems. Later, there were ports/packages for these things. Using pkg_add then fails because files already exists. I've looked at various -F options, but none that I've tried work for this situation. To be able to install the package, I've had to go through the error output of pkg_add and manually remove any "conflicting" files (ok, I scripted it).
Is there an easier way that I'm overlooking? Would this be worth adding another keyword for -F to just install the files even if they are there (same md5, even!)? Yes, yes, I should be submitting ports instead of just installing unported stuff. ;-P -- Darrin Chandler | Phoenix BSD User Group | MetaBUG [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://phxbug.org/ | http://metabug.org/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ | Daemons in the Desert | Global BUG Federation
