Hey all, I have a script to sort of kickstart an installation after doing a bare install of OpenBSD, and it's designed to be idempotent (won't hurt to run it several times).
Currently I install some packages, but that's a bit of a time-waster in that it will reinstall. Is there a way I can test for whether a package has been installed already, given only the package name, and not necessarily the executable name (if there is one)? I tried pkg_info and the exit code is zero even if the package isn't installed. Also, I've noticed that if I don't have X11 installed, I can't seem to install certain packages (such as subversion) and certain ports (EMACS, and even if I set FLAVOR=no_x11). What's up with that? -- Effing the ineffable since 1997. | http://www.subspacefield.org/~travis/ My emails do not usually have attachments; it's a digital signature that your mail program doesn't understand.
