Here is a patch up for review for pkgutils to warn on new files, but still error on missing files.
Would anyone like to comment on this and should I turn it into a option in pkgmk.conf as / <http://crux.nu/bugs/index.php?do=user&area=users&id=33>/Mikhail Kolesnik (mike_k) suggested?
The feature seems like a good idea, however I think pkgmk should somehow signal this "warning" situation with its return value. Otherwise it won't be possible for tools like prt-get to let a user know about an ignore footprint. It may not be interesting information for some users, however especially maintainers might want to double check their ports if there was a missmatch, even if it was just added files; after all, some missmatches might need addressing, even if they only add new files (think: documentation files generation if a particular tool is installed). There's another case: prt-get's logging can optionally remove build logs of those ports that build ok; chances are that if you use logging, and experienced a footprint warning (or any other warning in pkgmk for that matter), you still would want to see the log to actually check the build output.
