a/pkgtools-15.0-noarch-24.txz: Rebuilt. installpkg: support --no-overwrite option for upgradepkg's second install pass. Don't use this option directly unless you have a good reason. upgradepkg: call installpkg with --no-overwrite for the second install pass. This cuts the drive writes for a package upgrade almost in half so we can be kinder to SSDs. ap/nano-4.5-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. l/gmime-3.2.4-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. l/gnu-efi-3.0.10-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. l/gtk+3-3.24.12-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. testing/packages/rust-1.38.0-x86_64-2.txz: Rebuilt. The package size here has been put on a tremendous diet. Thanks to Andrew Clemons and Willy Sudiarto Raharjo for help with this. Compile test results: firefox-68.1.0esr: fail firefox-69.0.2: pass seamonkey-2.49.5: pass thunderbird-68.1.1: fail

+When extracting the package, do not overwrite existing files. Usually, this option
