Hi,
when I do a bigger prt-get action (like sysup) and a footprint mismatch occurs, the command exits. Often I don't notice it and when I look for my prt-get to see whether it has finished, I see, that it had stopped after the first package or something like this :-(
I think the footprint checking is a good thing, but I also think, it would be better to handle it different. Exit on mismatch or use -if are both not really the best solution I think.
My preferred solution would be to have a beep when a footprint mismatch is recognized with a continue y/n question to decide what to do.
My question is: Is their a way to do this or something similar with the current program or, if not the case, does the crux community would like to have such a feature. If so, I would try to dig a bit into the source and try to integrate it and request the maintainers of the program to include my patch.

Hi,
This is why ignore new was implemented.
/etc/pkgmk.conf PKGMK_IGNORE_NEW="yes"
Or I prefer to do:
/etc/prt-get.conf makecommand pkgmk -in
In the later case you have to update the footprint with pkgmk but if you use prt-get it'll ignore any new files and only error on missing files.

Thanks, that's what I was looking for! I just looked in the man page of prt-get and not in prt-get.conf. My mistake. Sebastian
