Override List
epkg allows you to specify a list of package names which will
be automatically overridden if they are in conflict with a package not on
the override list. This feature is intended to ease the transition to
Encap by allowing the system administrator to move the entire non-Encap
/usr/local into an Encap package, and replacing it with Encap
packages little by little.
Here's how it works:
- The override list is specified with -O override1,override2,....
- If no list is specified, a compiled-in default is assumed. This is
normally set to old_local.
- If you don't want any packages to be overriden, specify an empty list.
