In practice it has the same guarantee as pkg_tarup - but as joerg mentioned in another post, pkg_tarup is not guaranteed to work in the first place (pkgmanager uses 'make replace', which uses pkg_tarup). When I was first considering implementing explicit package backups, I realized pkg_tarup already did it. So for now I have not done anything more about it. -- / Peter Schuller, InfiDyne Technologies HB PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.scode.org
