pkg_deinstall(1), portupgrade(1):
- Properly print the legend.
pkg_glob(1), portsdb(1):
- Do not print an empty line when the result list is empty.
pkgdb(1):
- Greatly improve the origin fixing procedure. Do the origin
duplicateness check before checking dependencies and avoid redoing
the origin check.
- Show the user CVS history on the spot via the CVSweb.
portcvsweb(1):
- Allow specifying a no longer existent port file/directory.
"portcvsweb net/ruby-uri" now works.
- Change the default BROWSER value from 'lynx' to
'w3m:lynx:links:mozilla:netscape'.
portupgrade(1):
- Fix a bug where portupgrade tried to use a package with a different
origin when the package name is identical to that of what it wants
except for the version part.
pkgdb(3):
- Abolish the [You have no permission to update the pkgdb -- using a
slow method] message. Instead, run 'pkgdb -u' via sudo(8) when
under portupgrade -s, or stop the process immediately with a
message that the user must run the command as root.
pkgtools.conf(5):
- Allow specifying unofficial ports' origin globs in HOLD_PKGS as
well as package globs.
overall/miscellaneous:
- Change --no-config to --noconfig in order to get the -q option
really working. Since --no-config was regarded a negative form of
--config, it didn't work as expected.
- Fix some bugs in the zsh compdefs and add missing descriptions for
some options.
o Use bzip2 instead of gzip for the distribution tarball to save 20KB.
As the portupgrade user base is growing significantly, I'll get more
serious about the download size issue from now on. The next few
releases will be distributed in patches against this version.
Beware, there can probably be some bugs left in the new pkgdb code.
In such a case please run "pkgdb -fu" to fix the situation.
overall:
Utilize pkgdb better and optimize.
portupgrade:
Do not scan packages all at once when -P is given, but find one per
request. [Requested by: Hideaki OKADA <hokada@isl.melco.co.jp>]
Create a backup package record in tmpdir instead of pkgdbdir, in
order not to update pkgdbdir's mtime.
Rephrase/add messages.
portinstall:
Commit major changes and improvements over portinstall.
Now it warns and asks the user for confirmation if a port is being
installed when a package of the same origin is already installed.
Upgrade all the required packages before installing a new port.
[Requested by: Hajimu UMEMOTO <ume@mahoroba.org>]
Do not install ports immediately but queue them up, then install
them after upgrading all the specified and required packages.
pkgdb:
Record pkgname <=> origin mapping in the pkgdb and make full use of
it instead of repeatedly calling pkg_info -o which has undesirable
overheads.
Make portupgrade, pkg_deinstall update the pkgdb after they
install/deinstall packages or modify package records.
Integrate pkgdepfix(1) within. (pkgdb -F/--fix)
Add -o/--origin, which looks up an origin of a package in pkgdb.
Detect added/deleted/reinstalled packages more strictly so pkgdb can
keep being sane and consistent.
Do not fail over a small conflict found during updating pkgdb;
portupgrade should not be aborted by such a minor problem.
pkgdepfix:
Obsolete -o and turn -o on by default. Now we can look up an origin
of a package so quickly thanks to the pkgdb.
Integrate into pkgdb(1). (pkgdb -F/--fix)
portsdb:
A date spec is not a valid ports glob; emit a warning if specified.
[Found by: Hajimu UMEMOTO <ume@mahoroba.org>]
overall:
- Implement new package glob patterns: {<|<=|>=|>}{date|pkgname_glob}.
For example, you can rebuild and reinstall all the dependent
packages of png that had been installed prior to png this way:
portupgrade -fr png -x '>=png'
- Introduce the packages database, which is currently a simple hash
that maps file paths to package names.
Inspired by: NetBSD
pkgdb(1): (new)
- A command to create/update the packages database.
pkg_which(1): (new)
- A command to check which package a file came from quickly.
portsclean(1):
- Suppress "can't cd" error messages.
Submitted by: Jos Backus <josb@cncdsl.com>
ports_glob(1): (new)
- Give portsdb(1)'s ports glob expanding feature a suitable name.
pkg_fetch:
- Yet another new utility, which downloads binary packages from a
remote site. Optionally it can also download the required packages
recursively.
portupgrade:
- Do not regard "no package found" as an error when upgrading packages
with -PP.
pkgdepfix, portsclean -L:
- Fix a problem where the ruby 1.6.4 release fails in error.
Reported by: David Wolfskill <david@catwhisker.org>
portcvsweb:
- Explicitly execute a browser via /bin/sh, as the specification says.
other stuff:
- Improve the manpage and the completion definitions.
Overall:
- Support the cases where PORTREVISION == 0 and PORTEPOCH == 0.
portupgrade:
- Add a new option: -l/--log-results, which is used to save the
results as a file. [new]
- Properly exit with a non-zero status when main() does not return a
valid value. [fix]
portsclean:
- Finally implement portsclean -L/--libclean, which cleans the old
shared libraries that are not recorded in the package database. It
moves old and orphan shared libraries to ${PREFIX}/lib/compat/pkg.
[new]
- In concert with this feature, the portupgrade port now digs the
directory and installs a startup script which runs `ldconfig -m
${PREFIX}/lib/compat/pkg'. [new]
- Implement portsclean -DD, which cleans all the distfiles which are
not referenced from any port that is currently installed, which
portsclean -D only cleans the distfiles which are not referenced
from any port in the ports tree. [new]
Note that -DD runs very fast but removes more, whereas -D runs so
slow but removes less.
Idea provided by: Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org>
portsdb:
- Do not fail in the case when INDEX.db and INDEX.rbo are not in sync
somehow. [fix]
- Implement -r/--recursive. (a bit slow, though) [new]
Completions:
- Improve and update zsh compdefs.
- Add completion definitions for bash. [new]
..and several minor improvements. Enjoy!
have been made to the existing utilities)
pkg_deinstall: This is a package deinstaller with wildcards and
dependency recursion support.
pkg_glob: This is a package glob expander with wildcards and
dependency recursion support.
Beware of bugs, just in case. ;)
portupgrade:
- Sort packages by default and remove -s/--sort.
- Rename -y/--yield/-Y/--yield-command to -s/--sudo/-S/--sudo-command.
- Implement -a/--all.
- Implement -x/--exclude=GLOB.
- Exit on OptionParser::ParseError immediately.
- Do not call "make fetch-recursive" but just "make fetch", now that
portupgrade does recursion itself.
- In fetch mode, specify -DPACKAGE_BUILDING for ports that define
IS_INTERACTIVE. [Submitted by: Jimmy Olgeni <olgeni@uli.it>]]
portversion:
- Exit on OptionParser::ParseError immediately.
portsdb:
- New tool: which updates INDEX and INDEX.db in the ports directory.
pkgdepfix:
- Implement origin fixer with intelligent guessing, finally!
(-o/--fix-origin)
- Make pkgdep guessing more intelligent.
this is version 20010606.
A new tool pkgdepfix is added. It allows you to interactively fix
/var/db/pkg's @pkgdep / +REQUIRED_BY discrepancies. Run this
periodically to let portupgrade properly trace dependencies.
the Porter's Handbook compliant version of pkg_version with a little
bit better performance and better usability.
2001-03-22 06:13 knu
* README, portupgrade, misc/zsh/_portupgrade: Add a couple of new
options: -A [command to run after each installation] -B
[command to run before each build]
2001-03-22 05:49 knu
* README, install.rb, portversion, misc/zsh/_portversion: Add
portversion.
2001-03-22 05:43 knu
* portupgrade: Use make(1) arguments specified with -m for "make -V
PKGNAME" too.
Ignore the difference of the name parts when it compares the
package versions.
2001-03-22 05:36 knu
* misc/zsh/_portupgrade: Add a missing closing bracket.
It upgrades ports without reinstalling dependent packages by directly
modifying the package info recorded in the files under /var/db/pkg.
e.g.
portupgrade gtk
portupgrade -cC gnome\*
It currently has many design flaws (to me at least) but I am releasing
this because it's functionally stable enough to use. (I believe.. ;)
Use with care, at your own risk.
