pkg-config - pkgconf [portupgrade UPDATING entries]

[Pieter Donche]

Hi Bryan,

Before I do execute the instruction yuo mention, I want to check the 
following:

# grep pkg-config /var/db/pkg/*/*
gives two lines per (very many...) packages, such as e.g.
ImageMagick-6.7.7.7_1/+CONTENTS:@pkgdep pkg-config-0.25_1
ImageMagick-6.7.7.7_1/+CONTENTS:@comment DEPORIGIN:devel/pkg-config

# pkg_info | grep pkg-config
pkg-config-0.25_1   A utility to retrieve information about installed 
libraries

# pkg_info | grep pkgconf
nothing

I just want to be sure this is a valid status  BEFORE I do the
  portupgrade -fo devel/pkgconf pkg-config-\*
instruction ...

Will that instruction make change the change from @pkgdep 
pkg-config-0.25_1  into  @pkgdep pkgconf-0.8.3  in the +CONTENTS file
of a packages (and also the @comment line ?)

Also, will the package pkg-config-0.25_1 automatically be deleted (e.g. at 
the first package compiled during portugprade) and replaced by the package
pkgconf-0.8.3 ?

I understand pkgconf is meant to replace pkg-config? right?


I just want to know to be able to possibly verify things before I do the 
portugprade (some 40 packages waiting to be updated, 50 on another server 
...)

Pieter
