RE: handling moved configuration files

["Larson, Timothy E." <TELarson%west.com@localhost>]

Does pkgsrc have a general policy for handling multiple concurrently-support 
major versions of packages?  

Seems to me that when version X+1 of package bar/foo comes out, that we should 
create bar/fooX (if we need to maintain support for the old one) and let 
bar/foo be the new one.  I, too, think it makes sense that if you want the 
latest and greatest foo, you should be able to just install bar/foo and have 
it.  If someone knows he needs an outdated version, then the responsibility for 
tracking the version numbers should fall on him.



Thanks,
Tim
