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.
