For that we will need you help! pkg-devel has been updated to the latest version of pkg as of alpha2. Changes you can expect in pkg 1.4 are the following: - Loads of bug fixes - Stricter checking of the path passed via the plist - Removal of the bundled libyaml - new --raw-format to chose the output format for info -R and search -R - ABI is now follwing MACHINE_ARCH (freebsd:10:x86:64 become FreeBSD:10:amd64) the old ABI is available as a fallback in ALTABI - pkg check now support a quiet mode - new 3 way merge code ("stolen" from the fossil-scm) to allow automerging configuration files - new @config keyword to mark a file as a config file (during upgrade/reinstallation it will try to merge the configuration with the one the user may have modified) an option AUTOMERGE is available to prevent automerging if automerge fails a .pkgnew file will be created along with the untouched user version of the configuration - The update procedure has been improved and speed up a lot (in particular for machine with low resources) - The unique identifier has been modified to be pkgname meaning now ports can be moved in new categories without having to be considered a different package - Only libraries starting by lib* are added to the provided libraries - General speed up of all operations We need help in testing, but we also need help in writing regression tests ! The more we have tests the more stable the releases will be. The release will also allow to be able to package base! regards, Bapt --HKEL+t8MFpg/ASTE Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iEYEARECAAYFAlRQJIUACgkQ8kTtMUmk6ExL5QCglJ5Q7XrdTcXfqL23uKihJhLP 3j4AoI9x4WjlPMQyQNuYw2qGoS63sOKb =xEtd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --HKEL+t8MFpg/ASTE--
