Dear port users, I need your help testing some new features in the pkg_install tools. The best way would be to just do: cd /usr/ports/sysutils/pkg_install-devel; make PREFIX=/usr install to just replace your base system tools. After that the ports system should run as usual. To revert to the base system tools, you can just deinstall the port. This is a development version of the 5.x tools, so 4.x users will loose pkg_update. New features are: PR 56961: - a more stringent version number definition - also included is the use of `+' in vversion numbers, an incompatible change that gives 1.0.1+2003.09.16 > 1.0+2003.09.16 (mentioned differently in PR 56961) - new flags -E, -T, -X PR 56989: - fix display of tar+zipped packages - new flag -j PR 57029: - robustness against corrupted package database An regression that might be introduced is that the time to check tar+zipped packages may have increased, please report if this turns out to be problematic on your machine. The CVS history is available at: http://cvs.sf.net/viewcvs.py/portaudit/pkg_install/ Thanks for your help, and happy testing. Oliver
