I used to be able to run "pkg_glob" to see what packages have been updated since a given date. For example, if I do a big 'portupgrade -fr somepackage' and wait overnight, then in the morning find a handful had failed, I often find it helpful to do something like: pkg_glob -r somepackage -x '>= 2013-04-24' to see what packages depend on somepackage but weren't updated when I did the portupgrade on the 24th. But now, I find that pkg_glob always returns absolutely nothing if I specify a date. I did a portupgrade -a on Thursday the 25th of April, and when I try to see which ports actually got updated with "pkg_glob '>=2013-04-24'", it prints nothing. This has been happening for a few weeks, at least, and I wonder an update to the portupgrade package busted it. I have tried rebuilding the package db and ports db using pkgdb and portsdb, with no change in behavior. I tried looking at /var/db/pkg to see if the modification times of directories there might help me answer my question, but far more directories have been touched than packages actually updated (there were, as I recall, 20 pending package upgrades when I started the process). Anyone else have this issue? Or am I the only one left still using portupgrade and its associated tools? -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM echo "prpv_a'rfg_cnf_har_cvcr" | sed -e 's/_/ /g' | tr [a-m][n-z] [n-z][a-m]
