I'd recommend against this. Often you WANT to override a package with a newer version (or customized version) in /usr/local. Also, the packages that I've ported from cygutils --> official status often contain *different* files: cygutils : /usr/local/include/static/* /usr/local/lib/libfoo.a-dll /usr/local/lib/libfoo.a-static etc. The best way is to look at my careful README's and webpages on cygutils, and explicitly delete all the files that a given, obsoleted, package installs. --Chuck -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
