BUGS
gpt-install currently does not honor static build numbers. Instead it will replace any pgm_static package that is the same version or older. For example: gpt-install -force foo-2.1-2-gcc32-pgm_static.tar.gz foo-1.1-5-gcc32-pgm_static will be replaced. foo-2.1-1-gcc32-pgm_static will be replaced. foo-2.1-5-gcc32-pgm_static will be replaced. foo-2.2-1-gcc32-pgm_static will not be replaced. foo-2.1-gcc32-pgm will not be replaced.
