Ports manager is a ncurses based, graphical front-end to manage
the FreeBSD ports collection. It behaves like a package manager
and comes with many features.

pkgdb(1):
- Look up ports/MOVED to fix stale origins (both ORIGIN and
DEPORIGIN).
- Skip the check for origin duplicates when in automatic mode. (This
speeds up autofix)
- When pointing out a missing origin, show the name of the package in

portupgrade(1):
- Check return status of hardly failing commands also.
pkgdb(1):

overall:
- Reduce /bin/sh process calls by replacing shell redirection to
/dev/null with pkgdb -Q/portsclean -Q/fetch -q. (I know I can do
fork, dup and exec if necessary)
- Eliminate zombies during running. Formerly waitpid's against
terminated processes are delayed until Ruby gets short of resource
and thus runs a GC, but now portupgrade(1), pkgdb(1) and
portsclean(1) explicitly kick a waitpid immediately after each
popen() is done.

meta-character. This bug or maybe feature was inherited from Perl's

- The DEPORIGIN information is fully supported. It fixes DEPORIGIN
when a package is upgraded with a different port using -o/--origin,
and "pkgdb -aF" is automatically called at closing. This makes
portupgrade a tad slower but greatly reduces the "pkgdb -F"
annoyance.
- Fix a race where it rarely failed in updating the pkgdb after
installation and the user had to run "pkgdb -fu".
- Do not redirect stderr to /dev/null when calling portsclean -L. Now
the pkgdb updater's indicator is displayed properly.
- Synchronize the build failure checker with the latest version of
ports/Tools/portbuild/scripts/processlogs.
- Do not bother with +REQUIRED_BY files when they are mechanically
generated from @pkgdep information by pkgdb(1).

pkgdb(1), portupgrade(1):
- Add a BUGS entry to each of the two man pages to note that a user
must run pkgdb -fu to rebuild a corrupt pkgdb.
pkgdb(3):
- Add a silly workaround against a possible bug of the dbm module to
keep a pkgdb from getting insane and rebuilt.
- [exp.] Add a knob environment variable PKG_DBDRIVER to specify an
alternative binary database format for pkgdb. The available options
are:
"bdb_btree":
DB 3.x/4.x B+tree; requires databases/ruby-bdb.
"bdb_hash" or just "bdb":
DB 3.x/4.x hash; requires databases/ruby-bdb.
"bdb1_btree" or just "btree":
DB 1.85 B+tree; requires databases/ruby-bdb1.
"bdb1_hash", or just "bdb1" or "hash":
DB 1.85 hash; requires databases/ruby-bdb1. This should be
equivalent to the default except some tuning parameters, but
it is quite possible that ruby-bdb1 is stabler than the
standard dbm module included in ruby.
default:
DB 1.85 hash; uses ruby's standard dbm module.
In principle, a B+tree database is faster to store data, a little
bit slower to extract data, and takes more space than a hash
database.
This is still an experimental/undocumented feature only for those
interested, although I don't believe it brings any unstability.
Note that you can always run pkgdb -fu to rebuild a database.

overall:
- Perform better checks on pkgname and origin.
- Deprecate the use of PKGREPOSITORY and PKGREPOSITORYSUBDIR. Use
PACKAGES for PKGREPOSITORY and hardcode 'All'.
pkg_deinstall:
- -P/--preserve: Only preserve shared libraries with version numbers.
Keeping *.so files may be harmful because it allows ld to pick them
up and produce new binaries linked with the libraries of removed
packages. It is enough to only preserve *.so.* files to retain
compatibility.
portsclean:
- -P/--pkgclean: Clean dead symlinks as well.
- Fix the manpage: supply missing words.
portupgrade:
- Detect NO_LATEST_LINK and LATEST_LINK and use them to determine the
name of the latest package to fetch.
pkgdb:
- Improve the score computer. Try not to suggest a stupid guess. ;)
pkg_fetch, pkg_glob, pkg_sort, pkgdb, portsdb, portversion:
- Do not show help twice when -h/--help is given.

- pkgdb: Fix a regexp problem when it meets a pkgname that ends with a `+'.
Reported by: Albert Kinderman <albert.kinderman@csun.edu>
pkgdb:
- Make the dependency guesser rather more intelligent and show a score
when suggesting a candidate to the user.
- Check for the pkgdb directory ownership before starting to fix it.
pkg_deinstall:
- Emit a warning if none matches given patterns.
pkg_glob:
- Do not sort package names in dependency order but in alphabetical
order. (see pkg_sort(1) below)
pkg_sort:
- This is a new command to sort given lines of package names in
dependency order.
portversion:
- Fix the portversion -c output again.
misc.:
- Fix typos in the zsh compdef's: PKGDBDIR -> PKG_DBDIR.

Fix a recently caused problem where portupgrade might raise an error
during detecting obsoleted dependencies.
Reported by: Fritz Heinrichmeyer <jfh@jfh00.fernuni-hagen.de>
portupgrade:
Properly remove obsoleted dependencies in an upgrade. This reduces
pkgdb(1)'s turn.
portversion:
Inspect the origin port to get the latest version if a package's
origin is not found in the ports database.
Distinguish between `origin is not recorded' and `origin port is not
found'. Now the flag `#' represents the former and the flag `?'
represents the latter.
- Resurrect the flag `!', which means `port Makefile broken'.
- Yes, the meanings of `#' and `!' have been reversed. Because we
would hardly see ports missing origins any longer, I decided to
assign `!' to the one we see more often.
portsdb:
Call make_describe_pass[12] with the full paths. This fixes a
problem where `portsdb -U' cannot run them if ${PREFIX}/sbin is not
in the PATH.
miscellaneous:
Improve the build process.
- Move shebang line adjustment and ${PREFIX} substitution from the
port Makefile to the source Makefiles.
- Add Makefile.compat in order to support old systems which
doesn't have the SCRIPTS framework. (4.3 or prior)
portupgrade:
- Fix quotes.
[Submitted by: Jimmy Olgeni <olgeni@uli.it>]
- Do not ask whether to install a port twice. (portinstall/-N)
- Complete missing words in the manpage.
pkgdb:
- Comment out deleted pkgdeps properly.
misc.:
- Convert the install script to Makefiles.
- Change the examples/docs subdirectory name from `portupgrade' to
`pkgtools'.
reached the one step higher level. It's *really* powerful. Enjoy! :)
portupgrade:
- Greatly improve the procedure of binary upgrading (-P/-PP):
When a fetched package is not of the latest version:
1) If -PP is given and the package is at least newer than the
current installation, put up with it and do an upgrade.
2) If -PP is given and the package is now newer than the current
installation, give up.
3) Else, fall back to the port.
This way you can now do binary upgrades just as you'd expect.
- Improve the new installation procedure as well.
- Allow using ports glob patterns in the configutation variables
MAKE_ARGS and HOLD_PORTS.
- If a port/package matches multiple entries of MAKE_ARGS, join all
the arguments using the space as separator.
pkg_fetch:
- Introduce a new {environment,configuration} variable PKG_SITES.
You can now specify multiple URI's to fetch packages from.
- When a URI is given, check for the last path component and if it is
not "Latest" or "All", fetch the dependent ports from the same
directory. (-R)
- Do not repeat same error messages.
- Properly reflect the environment variables defined in pkgtools.conf.
pkg_deinstall:
- Add a timestamp hack as well as portupgrade to let the pkgdb engine
properly detect an update of PKG_DBDIR.
pkgdb:
- When the user chooses to delete a dependency, comment the line out
instead of deleting it.
pkgtools.conf:
- Provide some useful predefined constants and functions.
people's help. Thanks so much!
portupgrade:
- D'oh! Fix a stupid bug where portupgrade didn't modify
dependencies when upgrading a package while portupgrade _is_ meant
to do that. ;) But you don't need to worry: `pkgdb -F' can always
handle that situation.
This bug had been there since 2 October, and was finally exposed by
the newly introduced dependency sanity checks. I guess you has been
annoyed by the warnings, but they are gone now. ;)
Reported by: Ollivier Robert <roberto@eurocontrol.fr>
- Make portupgrade download packages from a remote site if -P is
specified. Now one can do binary upgrading in a handy way:
portupgrade -P foo bar
Instead of:
portupgrade -FP foo bar && portupgrade -P foo bar
Although the latter is friendlier to dialup users.
- Add a delay between deinstallation and installation to let pkgdb
properly detect the update of PKG_DBDIR entries.
- Since pkg_add(1) is mute, always show a progress message when
invoking it no matter whether -v is given or not.
- Make -f override "hold" marks set in pkgtools.conf.
pkgdb:
- Since the dbm routines in libc seem to dead lock in some cases,
slightly change the DB format and bump the DB version accordingly.
Reported by: Ollivier Robert <roberto@eurocontrol.fr> and others
- Make sure to check DB version when checking for a DB. (-u)
pkg_fetch, pkgdb, portsclean, portsdb:
- Make them read the configuration file and add the -q/--no-config
option just as other tools.
pkgtools.conf:
- Add examples for PKG_FETCH, PACKAGEROOT and PACKAGESITE.
- Introduce new configuration variables: IGNORE_CATEGORIES and
EXTRA_CATEGORIES.
- Now one can set common environment variables in this file.
- Now all the tools read this file by default.
overall:
- Reword and enhance the manual pages and the usage instructions.
- Clarify the explanation about port/package dependency.
