Make a pkg-plist for a FreeBSD port. Try to be as "automatic" as possible.
That's all it does ;-)
Basic usage
===========
1. Build your port to the staging directory: `make stage`.
2. Run this from your port's directory (or set `-p`).
Alternatively, you can install your ports to a "fake" prefix, this is the "old"
from before staging support, but it has the added advantage that you've tested
whether your port works when installing to a different prefix.
1. Build & install your port with a different `PREFIX`: `make install
PREFIX=/var/tmp/ptest`.
2. Run this from your port's directory with `-x` set to `PREFIX`.

This program provides for an alternate pkg upgrade procedure.
Usage: pkg-compare [options] new_path old_path
This program reads local.sqlite in new_path and compares list of installed
packages in local.sqlite in old_path. If a package is found in old_path which
is not in new_path then the name of the port is printed, one per line.
Command line switches:
-p prefix uninstalled packages with 'pkg install -Rf'
-m show manually installed packages only, no deps

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.

This will be used soon to replace the old dialog(1) for make config
It implements a new mixeddlg widget which allow to mix radio and
classic buttons in a single interface allowing the UI to reflect
optionsng features.
Bundle libdialog on 8.x which doesn't provide a recent libdialog(3).

- register conflicts between poudriere and poudriere-devel
- poudriere devel brings:
* support for ports using svn, svn+http, svn+ssh
* improve jail building from sources (still experimental)
* POUDRIERE_DATA is no more needed, if it doesn't exists it now looks for a
data zfs FS which by default will be in ${BASEFS}/data
* bulks now keep packages by default (incremental) (-k is gone replace by a -c
to clean everything before starting)
* bulks are now built in parallel (number of parallel built being hw.ncpu by
default
* cron directory is now autocreated and default location is the data dir
* jails are now created and mounted by default in a sub FS (${BASEFS}/jails/<jailname>
* ports tree are now created and mounted by default in a sub FS (${BASEFS}/ports/<portstreename>
* tinderbox-style output for logs
* logs are now created in data/logs/<buildtype>/<jailname>/<portstreename>/pkgname.log
* lots of performance improvements

This release brings initial PackageKit support, Upower (replaces power
management part of hal), cuse4bsd integration with HAL and cheese, and a
faster Evolution.
Sadly GNOME 2.30.x will be the last release with FreeBSD 6.X support. This
will also be the last of the 2.x releases. The next release will be the
highly-anticipated GNOME 3.0 which will bring with it a new UI experience.
Currently, there are a few bugs with GNOME 2.30 that may be of note for our
users. Be sure to consult the UPGRADING note or the 2.30 upgrade FAQ at
http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq230.html for specific upgrading
instructions, and the up-to-date list of known issues.
This release features commits by avl, ahze, bland, marcus, mezz, and myself.
The FreeBSD GNOME Team would like to thank Anders F Bjorklund for doing the
initual packagekit porting.
