Update to 20010727 with a couple of new commands added. (No changes 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.

dependency chains up and down to upgrade packages recursively.
Add portupgrade, a tool to upgrade installed packages with ports. 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.

portinstall: Helps you install new ports in a handy way.
o Update to 20020205. The best release ever, I hope. :) 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.

portcvsweb: Instantly browses change history via CVSweb.
Update to 20010922, with some brand new functionalities. 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.

old and orphan shared libraries, and stale packages.

portsdb: Creates binary database from the ports INDEX.
ports_glob: Expands ports globs.
pkg_deinstall: Wraps pkg_delete(1) and provides extra features.
Update to 20010827. 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.

pkg_which: Checks which package a file came from quickly.
Update to 20011006 with many improvements. 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.

Update portupgrade to 1.31 and portversion to 1.7. * Fix the Makefile/PKGNAME error detection. [Reported by: Tadayuki OKADA <tadayuki@mediaone.net>] * Implement -y/--yield which yields root priledges where needed. * Implement -Y/--yield-command which specifies the command to yield root priledges.
