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.
Huge thanks to all the people that have contributed to the pkg developement:
- may that be by code
- documentation
- bug report
- feedback

bsd.linux-rpm.mk. The default linux version is now Fedora 10.
- Remove now obsolete checks for Linux 2.4 in emulators/linux_base-c6,
emulators/linux_base-f10, and emulators/linux_dist-gentoo-stage3.
While there, remove superfluous -p argument from ${MKDIR}.
- Remove now obsolete check for Linux 2.4 or FreeBSD 6 and lower from
astro/google-earth.
- Remove expired Fedora Core 4 ports which were only used on FreeBSD 7
and below.

MAKE_ENV or CONFIGURE_ENV. I.e., don't set PATH in MAKE_ENV twice as
env(1) only takes one, in which case some ports fail to build. One
example is any USES=ada port (such as textproc/xmlada). Instead,
add the ccache path into PATH via := and let it fall into there
via the sourcing port's MAKE_ENV=PATH=...:${PATH} line.
A more comprehensive solution to this could be to add a MACRO/feature
to modify the PATH for all ports without using MAKE_ENV via
something like ADDPATH=...
With hat: portmgr
Tested by: several exp-runs
The problem is that WITH_CCACHE_BUILD adds PATH to the MAKE_ENV, but
the gnustep support sources a GNUStep.sh file that already sets the
PATH. Next when env PATH=... is called, it overwrites and losers the
gnustep PATH additions. This is a temporary fix until a better
solution is found.

Updates to drivers and other libraries and utilities
Additional notes:
Change pkgconf to be a build dependency.
Add a new USE_XORG, xcb, to depend on libxcb and update all ports to use
this.
Trim makefile headers.
Take maintanership of x11/xcb-proto, ok'd by ashish.
If you are running WITH_NEW_XORG=, you need to rebuild all installed
drivers, see UPDATING for more information.
Various fixes to make ports compile.

This was a pkg-1.0.9 regression. The impact of this is
that some ld cache files would show as leftovers.

- Split off documentation to print/texlive-docs from print/texlive-texmf.
The document part was 1.3GB (30k files). Now the size of texlive-texmf
package is 557MB (this was 1.5GB before the split).
- do-texhash, do-fmtutil, do-updmap targets now run after post-install.
. lang/python27: 2.7.3 -> 2.7.5
. lang/python32: 3.2.3 -> 3.2.4
. lang/python33: 3.3.0 -> 3.3.1
- update Mk/bsd.python.mk with new versions
- mark lang/python26 and lang/python31 as deprecated (set them to
upstream EoL dates)
- update docs (lang/python-doc-html)
- align databases/py-bsddb patch for python27 - most of it was applied
upstream. Raise BDB version to 4.3 atleast, according to
upstream requirements.
Many thanks to Martin (miwi) for his time on this update.

- revert erroneous threads patch in lang/python26 and lang/python27,
that was added after ports/131080. It was rejected upstream, because it's
not actually a bug, but misuse.
Gabor Pali (pgj) in collaboration with Kubilay Kocak (koobs) did an
independent investigation regard the issue. See here for details:
