From daaabd8ee20406533b88fb272e342409ba51190d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick J Volkerding Date: Fri, 4 Oct 2019 21:35:49 +0000 Subject: Fri Oct 4 21:35:49 UTC 2019 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.
