Packagers generally won't overwrite a pre-existing copy of the identical copy unless you specifically tell it to do so, usually by passing it a switch to say --force or --reinstall or the equivalent explicitly.
Do you mean 'pip' or 'apt' or 'yum' or 'rpm' specifically, and what do you mean by 'rebuilds' in your question ? - yum has a 'reinstall' command - apt-get has a --reinstall option - pip has a --upgrade --force-reinstall option What exactly is your scenario and what are you concerned will be overwritten (or not overwritten) ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-development" group.
