[wpkg-users] existing installed software does not get updates from wpkg

[MI]

I started using wpkg, after I had most software already installed on the machines.

When I create a package, it doesn't seem to be applied, because the check condition (for example "uninstall" for "Thunderbird x.y.z") returns true.

In the package definition, I put revision="%version%-2" (where version = the software version, ie 6.0.2 for Thunderbird). However, revision doesn't seem to matter.

How can I add a new package for existing software, so that the first time the package definition is seen, even though the check returns true, it still gets re-installed because it was never installed by wpkg before.

On a more general note, is there a good overview somewhere about the logic tests done by wpkg to decide if a an install or upgrade cmd will be run? As a new user of wpkg, that is the part I find most confusing. A logic chart or something would be very helpful.

Thanks,

MI
