>From the perspective of pkg things are even worse, as pkg can no longer detect that the renamed package is a replacement for some existing one.

'UPDATING' does NOT help to solve this task at all. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
