sysutils/portupgrade Makefile distinfo
Log:
Update to 20011027, the latest and greatest release ever, with lots of
people's help. Thanks so much!
portupgrade:
- D'oh! Fix a stupid bug where portupgrade didn't modify
dependencies when upgrading a package while portupgrade _is_ meant
to do that. ;) But you don't need to worry: `pkgdb -F' can always
handle that situation.
This bug had been there since 2 October, and was finally exposed by
the newly introduced dependency sanity checks. I guess you has been
annoyed by the warnings, but they are gone now. ;)
Reported by: Ollivier Robert <roberto@eurocontrol.fr>
- Make portupgrade download packages from a remote site if -P is
specified. Now one can do binary upgrading in a handy way:
portupgrade -P foo bar
Instead of:
portupgrade -FP foo bar && portupgrade -P foo bar
Although the latter is friendlier to dialup users.
- Add a delay between deinstallation and installation to let pkgdb
properly detect the update of PKG_DBDIR entries.
- Since pkg_add(1) is mute, always show a progress message when
invoking it no matter whether -v is given or not.
- Make -f override "hold" marks set in pkgtools.conf.
pkgdb:
- Since the dbm routines in libc seem to dead lock in some cases,
slightly change the DB format and bump the DB version accordingly.
Reported by: Ollivier Robert <roberto@eurocontrol.fr> and others
- Make sure to check DB version when checking for a DB. (-u)
pkg_fetch, pkgdb, portsclean, portsdb:
- Make them read the configuration file and add the -q/--no-config
option just as other tools.
pkgtools.conf:
- Add examples for PKG_FETCH, PACKAGEROOT and PACKAGESITE.
- Introduce new configuration variables: IGNORE_CATEGORIES and
EXTRA_CATEGORIES.
- Now one can set common environment variables in this file.
- Now all the tools read this file by default.
overall:
- Reword and enhance the manual pages and the usage instructions.
- Clarify the explanation about port/package dependency.
