AM> Hallo! AM> I was recently told in german usenet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> AM> that FreeBSD used this kind of approach, its package managment (iirc AM> ports) remembered whether a package was requested directly or pulled in AM> by dependencies.
I hear about that first time. I think it is not true. FreeBSD package management do not remember anything about package selection - you just install port and it can install others by depend. Ports that you wanted to install and ports that installed by dependence do not store any information if it was selected manually or not. At least it is so for 4.3-STABLE. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | Ilya Martynov (http://martynov.org/) | | GnuPG 1024D/323BDEE6 D7F7 561E 4C1D 8A15 8E80 E4AE BE1A 53EB 323B DEE6 | | AGAVA Software Company (http://www.agava.com/) | -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
