I did end up with local.sqlite because I stepped on the landmine of portmgr-pkg becoming the default for some reason. So I did end up with half of my packages being in the pkgng sqlite database, and half in standard /var/db/pkg. I had to convert them back to standard format by hand, but I still have the sqlite database just in case. I guess if you really want to prevent a foot-shooting, you should add a message to pkgng sayng in all caps e.g. "You are running experimental package manager and there's no migration plan from pkgng to old pkg exists." and maybe ask for confirmation. I don't really see how this message being in pkg_ tools helps to prevent a possible foot-shooting at all. At very least, it makes sense to make it conditional on WITH_PKGNG, so this code does not end up compiled in if PKGNG is disabled in src.conf. -- Stanislav Sedov ST4096-RIPE () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments _______________________________________________ svn-src-head@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-head-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
