pkg.
Here is the list of new features that happened in pkg 1.1:
- new simpler and more reliable solver
- shared libraries are now always tracked
- ssh:// is supported as a protocol to distribute packages (needs pkg 1.1+ on
the server hosting the packages)
- multirepository is no longer considered experimental and works by default.
- incremental update of the catalog (only if the repository was created by pkg
1.1+)
- simplification of the public API
- stabilisation of the public API (we will now try to keep it stable and if
change are needed there will be deprecation time before removal of some old
functions)
- new experimental pkg convert (can convert from and to legacy pkg database)
pkg2ng now uses pkg convert (still recommanded to use pkg2ng)
- new pkg lock/unlock to prevent any manipulation of a given package (no
upgrade,delete,etc)
- improved UI (now you can see the progress of an upgrade what is left to be
done)
- new pkg annotation to allow one to add annotations (free form key/value) to a
package)
- pkg audit is now able to directly parse the vuxml native format and not only
the compact version
- pkg -vv now shows all available options and their current settings
- pkg -vvv now shows a description of all the available options
- pkg info now automatically considers the query as globbing if * is in the
requested pattern
- new hook plugin interface (allows users to create hooks that get called at
anytime during and upgrade/installation/deletion of a package)
- new cmd plugin interface (allows users to create new sub command available for
pkg)
- pkg register can now register a port installation in the legacy database
format
- repository can be defined in simple yaml files
Internal:
- massive usage of hash tables (uthash), which simplifies a lot of the code,
and improves performances
- lots of optimisation in plist and manifest parsing
- lots of optimisation in loading packages (mmap used when possible)
- lots of cleanup in memory usage
- regression test framework is now ready (using atf) regression test are slowly
being added and populated.
To use this new version:
Ports users (or in building factories: poudriere/tinderbox):
Add WITH_PKGNG=devel to your make.conf
pkg set -o ports-mgmt/pkg:ports-mgmt/pkg-devel
Binary package users, if the remote repository is providing pkg 1.1:
pkg set -o ports-mgmt/pkg:ports-mgmt/pkg-devel
pkg upgrade
Note that pkg 1.1 can use a repository created for pkg 1.0 and vis versa.
