diger: olta_away: hi, how to use the package with the same name, but set in different locations, one in the system, the other in the home
I need to use their own version of curl, but I can not remove curl installed in the system, because with it removes almost all of the packages
http://pastebin.com/sM9j1j79
OmniMancer: you need a different version?
diger: yes
OmniMancer: and the versions are incompatible?
diger: incompatible with which...?
OmniMancer: why can't it work with the installed version of curl?
diger: I do not want to depend on how the packets are collected with haikuporter
OmniMancer: I don't understand :/
diger: ok
can I remove stock curl package and use the custom one from the home directories? The problem is that an attempt to remove curl with pkgman show very log list of dependencies to remove - all haiku packages inlcuding system ones.
PulkoMandy: diger: install the new one first
OmniMancer: AFAIK packages in home don't affect the system folder :/
PulkoMandy: but yes, you can't install it in home to use it from system
because it would not be visible to other users then - the system couldn't even boot before you log in
OmniMancer: PulkoMandy: can he put the curl in home and then the package that depends on it in home as well?
diger: can you explain again why you can't use the system curl package?
PulkoMandy: yes, but you wil end up moving like, the whole system to home
if anything required to boot requires curl, you're going to break the system
OmniMancer: PulkoMandy: I don't understand :/
PulkoMandy: if you remove the system curl, you have to remove all its dependencies from system/
that is likely to include some things that are required to boot
that being said, if you add another curl package in home/ without removing the original one, that should work
the problem then is that gcc won't look in home for libs nad headers
so you have to adjust -I and -L options so it finds that
once everything is compiled it should be ok
also... what about we update the curl we provide if there's a newer version ?
diger: how update package?
i have in repo curl v.7.31.0, in system v.7.26.0
OmniMancer: PulkoMandy: I was asking about the case where you add another package to home
PulkoMandy: diger: just drop it in /boot/system/packages
diger: ooo
PulkoMandy: OmniMancer: well, just adding has no problem, packages in system just won't see it
diger: haikuway
PulkoMandy: yes, all the pkgman stuff is just to make those linx users happy (and handle dependencies for packages that have some)
otherwise it's just usual drag and drop
the warning you saw when trying to remove curl from system will soon have a new option like 'install curl-vX.XX from HaikuPorts"
so you will be able to drop a package you downloaded in the folder and let the package manager solve the dependencies for you

OmniMancer: pkgman also downloads things from the repo
PulkoMandy: OmniMancer: yes, but not the package daemon
diger: mh, interesting
we have some too strict version checking somewhere then I think
