           Summary: individual packages should have "force" flag
           Product: WPKG
           Version: 0.9.10
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: wpkg.js
        AssignedTo: mangoo at mch.one.pl
        ReportedBy: mangoo at mch.one.pl
         QAContact: wpkg-users at lists.wpkg.org


Individual packages should have ability to set the "force" flag (disabled by
default):

    <package
        id="albisdemo840"
        name="ALBIS Demoversion 8.40"
        revision="3"
        force="1"
        priority="1">
<check type="file" condition="exists" path="C:\aowdemo\a_test\albis840.txt" />
<check type="file" condition="exists" path="C:\aowdemo\z_test\albis840.txt" />


Its effect should be the same as using the /force flag in wpkg.js command line -
but only for that given package.

Reason:
some Windows software is still written as if it was DOS, Windows 3.1 or Windows
95, and requires write access to the directory where it was installed. This
means, any user can potentially change or delete such files, or even the whole
directory.
With that flag, we would be sure WPKG checks if the package is installed correctly.
