To all portmaster users:

My apologies for the version number churn the last week or so. I'm
pretty sure that I can give an "all clear" for version 2.5, and that
both the globbing features and the old features should work as
expected now.

For those that are not aware, portmaster now has the ability to handle
glob matches for ports in /var/db/pkg/ in a manner roughly equivalent
to portupgrade. So for example you could type 'portmaster xorg-server'
and have it successfully match whatever version of that port you have
installed, or type 'portmaster p5' and have it update everything that
matches the pattern /var/db/pkg/p5*.

I'd like to thank those users who not only reported the recent bugs
with "gentle grace and good humor," but were kind enough to test the
fixes and let me know that they worked.


Regards,

Doug
