- document pkg_repo_priority() in pkg_repos(3)
- fix a bug handling chflags on systems without chflagsat reported on dfly but
might also affect FreeBSD 8 and 9 even if no bugs were reported yet [1]
[1] Special thanks goes to Dillon for removing the dirt our of my eyes and
spotting the bug, Antonio Huete Jimenez (tuxillo) for testing and tracking the
bug since it has been spotted on dragonfly

operations may have to be run twice we are investigating a fix
Update pkg-devel to 1.4.99.0 (aka 1.5 pre-alpha0)
Changes since pkg 1.3.0:
Changes you can expect in pkg 1.4 are the following:
- Loads of bug fixes
- Stricter checking of the path passed via the plist
- Removal of the bundled libyaml
- new --raw-format to chose the output format for info -R and search -R
- ABI (for freebsd, unchanged for dragonfly) is now follwing MACHINE_ARCH
(freebsd:10:x86:64 become FreeBSD:10:amd64) the old ABI is available as a
fallback in ALTABI
- pkg check now support a quiet mode
- new 3 way merge code ("stolen" from the fossil-scm) to allow automerging
configuration files
- new @config keyword to mark a file as a config file (during
upgrade/reinstallation it will try to merge the configuration with the one the
user may have modified) an option AUTOMERGE is available to prevent
automerging if automerge fails a .pkgnew file will be created along with the
untouched user version of the configuration
- The update procedure has been improved and speed up a lot (in particular for
machine with low resources)
- The unique identifier has been modified to be pkgname meaning now ports can be
moved in new categories without having to be considered a different package
- Only libraries starting by lib* are added to the provided libraries
- General speed up of all operations
- pkg set gain a -n option (equivalent to -o but works on name rather than origin)
- pkg set -o now considered deprecated
- pkg version accept '?' and '!' in pkg version limchar
- Plist parser do not accept modes like o+w g+s u+r
- @owner/@group with no argument reset the default ownership to root/wheel
- Plug regression tests into the release mechanism as mandatory
- Allow url in repository configuration to be overriden by another configuration
file
- If one of -P, -I or -R is not explicitly given on the command line do not emit
error messages while searching for a mechanism to find data about the latest
available ports.
- External keywords can now take arguments
- Directories under PREFIX are automatically handled and removed if needed
- MTREE are not packaged anymore neither extracted on final installation
- OS major checking (to determine if pkg is running on an upgraded base system)
uses the same mechanism as ABI detection instead of relying on UNAME_r which
can have false positivie on jails
- Add @dir keyword for plist which is used to package explicitly directories
(directories with non root/wheel or outside prefix) and empty directories
(@dirrm and @dirrmtry are now considered as deprecated)
- root/wheel are now considered as the default user/group when creating a
package except @owner/@group are used to change that behaviour
- Import newer version of libucl which improves error messages in case of
problem parsing manifest or configuration files
- Fix pkg register so it checks for conflicts before actually copying files on
to the filesystem
- pkg now support a new no_provide_lib annotation to preventing automatic
populating of provided libs (useful for packages bundling libraries like wine)
- Improve documentations
- Ability to select usage of IPv4/IPv6 via config, repository config or command
line
- Lots of bug fixes
Side effects:
- Convert to install-mtree target into a no-op target Add empty directories to
plist of ports that needs them to run:
- share/aclocal to devel/automake and devel/automake14
- share/applications to devel/desktop-file-utils
- share/xml share/sgml to textproc/xmlcatmgr
- Prevent check-plist to issue warnings about some @dir*
- Adjist check_leftovers.sh to not take in account anything related to mtree
- Bump the default required version of pkg to 1.3.8
Please note announcement for special instructions at:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports-announce/2014-August/000086.html
- Users need to run 'pkg check -Ba' after upgrading to pkg-1.3.7 and before
updating any other packages. This avoids needing to reinstall anything
not needed due to changed shlibs.
- People building packages for serving to other systems need to rebuild
all packages with 1.3.7.
Changes:
* Test suite fixes
* Documentation updates
* pkg-rquery(8): Add a pointer to EXAMPLES in pkg-query(8)
* If opening the db in READ_ONLY give a warning if it is missing
* Give advice on how to recreate the database if auto-updating was skipped
* Remove pkg --check-activation. It is too tempting to use.
* Make it more clear that the 'Major version' change is non-fatal
* Jobs display: Avoid excessive newline before prompt and after unprompted usage
* Remove references to PACKAGESITE/MIRROR_TYPE/PUBKEY
* Support uppercase ENABLED in repo config.
* Avoid POLA, make PACKAGESITE/MIRROR_TYPE/PUBKEY in pkg.conf fatal
* Fix self upgrade loop with pkg upgrade -Fy
* Fix self upgrade not using the new pkg binary
* pkg-{delete,autoremove}: Use a readonly lock in dry run
* pkg-convert: Add locking. EXCLUSIVE by default, READONLY with -n
* pkg-convert: Check for proper db permissions for both real and dry_run mode
* pkg-convert -r: Only a readonly lock is required for converting from the db
* pkg-convert -r: Add common db access checks
* pkg convert -r: Don't crash if unable to create the package dir
* Revert stripping shlib versions from e127d91d4.
This will require rebuilding packages on the repository and then
running pkg check -Ba to fully utilize. Until packages are rebuilt
there may be false-positive shlib reinstalls.
* pkg {register, check -B}: Fix registering provided shlibs as required
* When analysing ELF files with DEVELOPER_MODE, don't bail on first error
* Fix pkg-ssh when SSH_RESTRICT_DIR is a symlink
* Fix size calculations with hardlinks
* Fix pkg-which glob
* pkg fetch -d: Fix crash (#955)
* Progress bar improvements/fixes
* Fix ETA for fetching (#943)
* Fix progressbar stalled support
* ETA progress: Account for TCP SLOW START and weigh the first few ticks less
* Rework 'pkg update' output slightly to clarify what it is doing.
* pkg check: Add progressbar when not using -v
* pkg check: Add job counter with using -v
* pkg clean: Add progressbar
* Fix hardlink calculations (#958)
* pkg backup: Add -q
* pkg backup: Remove docs for '-d -' as it does not work.
* pkg config: Fix output for arrays/objects (#971)
* Fix RC scripts being started on deinstall rather than stopped
* Add some more asserts
* pkg-fetch.8: Remove reference to removed mirror mode
* Fix a few typos in pkg.conf.5 (#969)
* Document new configuration options. (#969)
* Fix always refetching of file:// and ftp:// repositories
* pkg query -g: Fix handling of ranges such as 'name-[0-9]*' which
is used by ports CONFLICTS checking
* Fix crash when SIGNATURE_TYPE=PUBKEY but PUBKEY is not defined
Changes:
* Fix bringing in i386-wine* as a dependency (requires rebuilding
the wine package). This is fixed, for now, by not considering
shlibs as provided by a package if they do not match the target
architecture. (#922)
!!! You should delete the i386-wine and i386-wine-devel !!!
!!! packages from your repository so they rebuild. !!!
!!! Bumping of PORTREVISION is pending due to the !!!
!!! nature of these ports. !!!
* Fix auto reinstallation of packages when shlibs/dependencies
change. This will force a 'pkg update' to run to rebuild
the local repository. Using -U will not work until this is
done. (#933)
* Fix 'pkg rquery %Av' (requires rerunning pkg-repo on remote) (#925)
* Fix pkg_solve_sat_problem assertions (#915)
* Fix 'pkg install -f' (#912)
'pkg install -R[f]' is still known to not work (#926)
* Fix 'pkg rquery -e' (#910)
* Fix 'size mismatch' errors requiring 'pkg update -f' (#906)
* Fix other cases of 'pkg update -f' being required.
* Fix 'pkg clean' to show files before confirming (#887)
* Fix upgrade/install not showing meta packages in the output (#909)
* Fix 'pkg autoremove -n' asking for confirmation
* Fix 'pkg lock' not being respected for forced operations (#911, #937).
Note that a locked package may still be deleted if the solver determines
it is no longer needed.
* Fix 'pkg delete -q'
* Replace the SAT solver with Picosat (#914). This is much more mature
and stable than our previous solver. It, along with other work, fixes
many issues with solving upgrades.
* 'pkg ssh' fixes
* Do not consider shlib versions for package provides/requires as there is
discrepency in what packages provide and what other require. For now only
rely on libname.so.

certificated and the revoked ones:
--- begins --
function: sha256
fingerprint: an_hex_representation_of_the_fingerprint
--- ends ---
All unknown attribute will be silently ignored to allow extending

change are needed there will be deprecation time before removal of some old
functions)

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)

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
- Explain why a package is being reinstalled
- A package can now be marked to only be upgraded from a given repository via
annotations
- install and upgrade will show from which repository packages are taken from
- old/unused 'informations' field has been removed in favor of using
annotations

- lots of cleanup in memory usage
- regression test framework is now ready (using atf) regression test are slowly
being added and populated.
Changes:
- Add pkg -N to detect if pkgng is installed and activated.
See pkg(8) for usage as this is not completely safe for 9.1's
bootstrapper.
- Update manpages with examples
- Fix crash in shlib handling (was already in port)
- Fix shlibs scanning over NFS
- Update to new repository/upstream URL at
http://github.com/freebsd/pkg

*** Binary Package Builders: It is recommended to rebuild
all packages and then run 'pkg check -Ba' and 'pkg
upgrade' on your client servers once. This will allow
the new shlib tracking to reinstall packages that have
changed shlib requirements. This step is optional.
Changes:
* Always track provided SHLIBS now when packages are
created
* Automatically reinstall packages when their needed shlibs
or dependencies change. This removes the need to run
'pkg install -Rf' in many, but not all, cases.
* New DB lock strategy when stored on a network filesystem
* pkg version: Show ? when package is missing on remote
* pkg check -s: Return non-zero exit status if a mismatch
is found
* pkg audit: Implement -q
* Add more periodic scripts
* Add bash completion script
* pkg audit: Performance optimizations
* Build fixes
* Add some forward-compatibility support for upcoming 1.1

Changes:
- Fixes pkg-[r]query %d only returning the first
depedency. This could have resulted in packages
being built without a full depedency list. It is
recommended to rebuild any packages built in the
last day.

- Replace tab with space in pkg-descr
Changes:
- gcc44/gcc48 build fixes
- pkg-install now returns 0 when requested pkgs already
installed

bsd.pkgng.mk as _FORCE_POST_PATTERNS so we can update
that instead of having a pkgng release every time a new
one is identified.
- Add pkg check -n for -d to be scriptable
- Fix memory corruption if WWW passed directly to manifest
- COMMENT/Description/WWW are now required to make valid
packages

- Support base libbsdyml when possible over bundled libyaml
- Fix `pkg install -fR` not installing missing dependencies [2]
- Fix build with clang/gcc-4.7 in some cases [3]
- Fix SRV MIRROR support
- pkg-{fetch,install,upgrade} -L has been deprecated. Please use -U now.
-L will be removed in a future release. Thiwas was done to be consistent
with future support for -U in pkg-rquery(8) and pkg-search(8)
- Make DEVELOPER_MODE architecture suggestion more clear that it is non-fatal.
This is not really implemented yet and is just a hint.

directories being created in the wrong place when installing packages.
