I was working to upgrade the version of a desktop package called
data/docbook

sgml-common
docbook-dtds
docbook-style-dsssl
docbook-style-xsl
I found that there is no easy way to even test my builds due to
intertwined dependencies.
Since I need to remove data/docbook on my machine to install my newly
built packages,
that pull in the following dependencies:
Why do you need to remove the existing packages to install the new
packages?
I can not successfully install the new ones which the existing one in
place.
What's preventing you from installing all of the new ones at the same
time or using 'pkg update' to update to them?
There new ones contain the files which are delivered by the existing
one.
e,g. errors I got:
# pkg install data/docbook-style-xsl
Creating Plan /
pkg install: The requested change to the system attempts to install

These packages may not be installed together. Any non-conflicting set
may
be, or the packages must be corrected before they can be installed.
So if I understand correctly, the 'docbook' package is being split
into four packages:
sgml-common
docbook-dtds
docbook-style-dsssl
docbook-style-xsl
?
Yes.
If so, you should publish a new version of the 'docbook' package with:
set name=pkg.renamed value=true
depend type=require fmri=.../sgml-common
depend type=require fmri=.../docbook-dtds
depend type=require fmri=.../docbook-style-dsssl
depend type=require fmri=.../docbook-style-xsl
Then you should be able to update the 'docbook' package which will in
turn install its replacement packages. The packages that currently
depend on docbook will need to be updated to depend on the replacement
packages.
Great! Now I understand how this bit works :)
For now, with your local testing, just publishing the new version of the
'docbook' package with the above content should be sufficient for you to
verify that your split works as expected.
You won't have to update all of the packages that depend on 'docbook'
just for immediate testing purposes.
