I've been wondering what the default is these days. Good point, in fact |
| 7 |
I'll swap the case around so that the flow of the news item is "with |
| 8 |
default configuration nothing will happen, if however you have strict |
| 9 |
collision check do this". |

OK, I'll shorten it. |

Can do. |

How about simply "updated versions"? |

It's just because Thunderbird breaks lines at fewer characters than Vim |
| 36 |
in text-file mode. It isn't present in the actual news item. |

Again, Thunderbird's fault. |

I have tried doing this in pkg_preinst but alas, I have found out |
| 56 |
collision checks are performed before that function is invoked. I have |
| 57 |
also tried setting COLLISION_IGNORE in the replacing package but it |
| 58 |
seems that variable only works in make.conf and make.defaults - in which |
| 59 |
case it's simpler to simply tell the users to delete those symlinks. |
