Hello Porters,
I'm working on updating the port sysutils/modules and am unsure how
to do something.
The port (tarfile attached) installs into ${PREFIX}/Modules/${PORTVERSION}
and creates a link ${PREFIX}/Modules/default that points to that install.
The point is to permit several installed versions of the software with
the link controlling which is used.
I want to make this updated port not conflict with any older version that
may be installed.
Here's my problems:
If an older version is installed my port fails because it can't create the
directory ${PREFIX}/Modules nor the link ${PREFIX}/Modules/default because
they already exist. I don't know how to deal with this.
When deinstalling the port I want to remove ${PREFIX}/Modules/default if it's
pointing to the version I'm deinstalling, but leave it alone otherwise.
Please give me advice on how to proceed.
Regards,
