Unfortunately, if it was just meld I wouldn't maybe post. But it is p5-HTML-Summary-0.019 ; p5-HTML-SimpleParse-0.12; p5-HTML-Template-Pro-0.9510 ; p5-Net-Amazon-S3 etc. (Perl substr?). With /var/db/pkg/ files I could grep ; awk ; gtr ; sed
in a pipe construct, bit by bit expanding it, until it could run automatically under portmaster.
All that has been obsoleted in this case with pkg2ng [and my lack of SQL expertise]...(I've the old directories, but for some reason most of the p5* did not convert and are missing from the database but still installed. ) Maybe pkg-NEW-SOMETHING
could take as a parameter the name-number construct, and any or all of: ... tell it it is installed locally, or available remotely, using as its base the port origin and excluding the PORTVERSION, that would be useful certainly, migrating from maybe ruby19 to ruby20 (and the other such instances) for leftover files, and if it appeared quite soon, may even help others yet to migrate to pkg
who wish to check their (hopefully backed up) /var/db/pkg against what the new database says is installed...
