FreeBSD orion 6.2-STABLE FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #1: Tue Jun 12 20:39:04 VET 2007 root@orion:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CUSTOM i386
>Description:
When multiple packages are processed by "pkginfo -g" to "show files that do not match
the recorded checksum" and output is save to a file or to a pipe, error messages
relative to a package are printed before the "Information for $PACKAGE:" line,
thus confusing the user on the real package that is having problems.
It doesn't happen when output is printed to a terminal because stdout is
line-buffered in this case, else it is block buffered and any error messages
could be written before the "Information for $PACKAGE:" line.
The solution (contained in the attached patch) is an explicit fflush(stdout)
after the printf() of the line above. There are 2 other functions that contains
calls that print to stderr that I patched. The 3 modified functions are:
show_index(), show_plist() & show_cksum()
The file in question is src/usr.sbin/pkg_install/info/show.c
Note: The very first function show_file() contains this line:
printf("ERROR: show_file: Can't open '%s' for reading!\n", fname);
Why not make most errors in this command print to stdout ?
Anyway the attached patch preserves the current functionality (tested on
6.2-STABLE and -CURRENT) and just adds the fflush(stdout) after the information
line for each package.
