Description
Previously, I had posted a simple patch to include receipts files in "pkg" file creation. This was the wrong approach and I have since removed that bug.
I have a new approach that I believe to be much smarter. The attached patch will make the dependency checking properly detect if a package was installed using the "pkg" file via the Installer.app program. This allows distribution of "pkg" files for install and still have the port system detect them and not attempt to rebuild them.
The patch also includes fixes to "uninstall" and "toc" targets so that the "uninstall" will not allow a user to uninstall a "pkg" installed package with "port uninstall", but instead tells them to use the "Uninstaller.app". Also, the "toc" target will list the BOM of the "pkg" that was installed using the "Installer.app" (and warns the user that it's doing so).
Please consider this change for commital. I think it's a good step forward for the DarwinPorts handling of "pkg" files.
Thanks!
