Thanks

A new renamed screen package is available in my experimental repository:
http://buildfarm.opencsw.org/experimental.html#yann [^]

Could you try to upgrade to this package and give me some feedback ?

Hi Yann,

There is a standard mechanism in GAR to generate the empty transitional package. This will give you an empty screen_stub package, which we have chosen as the standard naming convention. (You chose _transitional.)

To use this feature, simply add to your GAR recipe:
OBSOLETED_BY_CSWscreen = CSWscrn
CATALOG_NAME_CSWscrn = screen_stub

Those two lines should be enough to do everything required. You'll get CSWscrn/screen_stub depending on CSWscreen/screen.

Can you try this method? I'm happy to test the update as it stands for functionality though.

Thanks
-Ben

The update does work and the new screen package runs the same as the old one as far as I can tell.

Hi Ben,

Thanks for the information.

I took the opportunity to use the transitional/stub package to put some postinstall code related to the migration of screen socket directory from /tmp/uscreens|screens to /var/opt/csw/run/screen

Can I easily add a preinstall script using the automatic GAR mechanism for generating stub package ?

The renamed package screen entered the current branch on July, 25, so I am closing this bug :)
