Lots of work has been done on the pkg(8) front, that brought + pkg(8) to the 1.5.0 release.

+ +

Special attention has been spent on the test suite, the + number of tests went from around 20 to more than 70. Mostly + functional tests. Each test can in fact test many different + features.

+ +

One of the main highlights is initial support for + provides/requires has been implemented, while it is still + simple, it is good enough to allow fixing lot of situation when + dealing with php related ports: able to safely upgrade from one + major version to another. This allows for the pecl/pear + packages to be reinstalled each time a minor php upgrade is + done.

+ +

Some pkg internals have been reworked to allow cross installation + of packages without the need for chroot(2) or jail(2) calls.

+ +

The plist and keyword parser have been improved to keep simplifying + creating new ports:

Keywords can now have arguments
Lazy mode available for setting credentials via the + plist
Flags (immutable and others) can now be specified in + plist

+ +

pkg now support fetch resume for http/ftp

+ + + + +

Populate the ports tree with provides/requires

+ + + +

Make all script in ports cross installation friendly

+ + + +

Improve provides/requires

+ + + +

Continue adding more tests
