This announcement prompted me to switch from portupgrade to portupgrade-devel (20120827 version) to see how it works with PKGNG. I encountered a couple issues: > > Portupgrade doesn't remove the pkgdb.db.lock reliably. > Portupgrade doesn't handle stale lock files (just waits indefinitely for a nonexistent process to finish). A big problem when combined with the above. > Running "portupgrade pkg" failed. It stalled trying to unregister the package installation after the old pkg was removed. I didn't dig too deeply but it seems like a dependency chicken-and-egg problem. I tried this again so I could provide some more details. This is what shows in the terminal when it stalls: ---> Backing up the old version ---> Uninstalling the old version USING PKGNG ---> Deinstalling 'pkg-1.0' ---> Preserving /usr/local/lib/libpkg.so.0 as /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg/libpkg.so.0 The following packages will be deinstalled: pkg-1.0 The deinstallation will free 7 MB Deleting pkg-1.0... done [Updating the pkgdb <format:bdb_btree> in /var/db/pkg ... Running ps in another terminal shows "pkg query %n-%v". Since the actual pkg is now gone, I suspect this is really /usr/sbin/pkg. I further suspect that it's waiting for y/n input (whether to install the binary pkg) on its nonexistent stdin somewhere. I killed it (pkg) and portupgrade seemed to finish normally. > I was able to reinstall using /usr/sbin/pkg, and I also tested "make && make deinstall && make reinstall" of ports-mgmt/pkg successfully, so it may just be a portupgrade issue. > > JN > > On Aug 30, 2012, at 8:19 AM, Baptiste Daroussin <bapt@freebsd.org> wrote: > >> After 2 years of development (first commit "Tue Sep 7 2010"), more than 2000 >> commits, 43 different contibutors.
