Hi all, I would like to present to you the new utility to deal with the ports system. The main goal of this project is to provide one common tool for managing ports and packages instead of relying on many applications (pkg_add, pkg_delete, pkg_info, pkg_version etc.). Actually it is a smart wrapper written in /bin/sh to the previously mentioned applications. It also uses external tool portmaster written also in /bin/sh by Doug Barton to work with the ports compiled from source. Pkg tool automates upgrading installed packages, outputs valuable information about packages/ports and overall simplifies working with the FreeBSD Ports Collection. It uses no external databases like portupgrade, just simplicity and minimalism are its main goals. You can test the latest version by installing the package from here http://home.si.rr.com/pyn/pf/pkg-1.1.tbz I commited pkg-1.0 with send-pr to the ports tree a few days ago. It is awaiting approval... http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/112572 Feel free to send any suggestions, new ideas and of course bug reports... Thank you, Andy Kosela Pythagoras Foundation
