pkgsrc-wip/pkg_install-testing/MESSAGE
Jeremy C. Reed ee1c51b7e9 *** This is a testing replacement for pkg_install. ***
*** It includes DB functionality on different platforms.    ***
*** It includes a new pkg_add -u switch (and -r is old -u). ***
*** This package can be registered as a package.            ***

This is a custom pkg_install:

1) configures for more db versions.

2) integrates a new package upgrade routine where it overwrites
   instead of pkg_delete'ing first (see pkg_add man page)

3) pkg_add -r is the replace mechanism -- it is the old -u switch

4) pkg_add -u is the new overwriting upgrade option

5) currently the part to delete files no longer included after
   upgrade is disabled (for now for testing)

This is a testing version of the pkg_install.
As you can see, it allows installation.
The old -u option has been replaced with an overwrite
upgrade. Use -r for the old pkg_delete before update
method. See the new pkg_add man page for details.
Currently, the files no longer needed after an -u
upgrade are not deleted. After some more testing
this will be turned on.
Please share your feedback.
