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.
Submitted by: Jos Backus <josb@cncdsl.com> (Thanks a lot!)
portupgrade, portversion, pkg_deinstall, pkg_glob:
Introduce the configuration file `pkgtools.conf' for the pkgtools
suite. Currently portupgrade(1), portversion(1), pkg_deinstall(1)
and pkg_glob(1) use it.
Add a new option -q/--no-config to avoid reading the configuration
file.
Introduce dependency sanity checks. If an inconsistency is
detected, immediately abort a process suggesting the user should run
`pkgdb -F'.
Add a new option -O/--omit-check to omit the sanity checks.
pkgdb:
Fix the origin guesser's minor bug when the origin port directory
does not exist.
portupgrade:
Add a new option -y/--yes, which lets portupgrade assume user
answers yes to all the questions.
Make sure to ask user where it should. (Get -N and -i right)
Fix a bug where portinstall -i didn't work interactively.
[Submitted by: Gregory Neil Shapiro <gshapiro@gshapiro.net>]
portsdb:
Attempt to offer fast INDEX generation. Now it generates an INDEX
file more than a few minutes faster.
overall:
Emit a warning when pkgdb cannot be updated though it is not
up-to-date.
Finally remove -E/--regex. Use the ':RE' glob pattern instead.
portupgrade:
Fix a couple of bugs where `portupgrade -h | more' doesn't show the
usage nicely.
Reported by: Gregory Neil Shapiro <gshapiro@gshapiro.net>
portsclean:
Make good use of portsdb and pkgdb, use lazy (but virtually
sufficient) checks and get distclean much faster. (both -D and -DD)
portsdb:
Do not fail even if some categories are missing in the ports tree.
Reported and tested by: Jos Backus <josb@cncdsl.com>
And some other internal bugfixes that do not affect the user tools.
release again. (Hopefully)
portupgrade:
Delete an unneeded exception snatcher. This fixes a bug where ports
marked as IGNORE are not properly skipped.
pkgdb:
Rebuild pkgdb if it looks like broken, instead of resulting in
failure.
Unbreak regexp match. ;)
Fix a typo of a variable name in an error message.
[Reported by: Stijn Hoop <stijn@win.tue.nl>]
portsdb:
Allow a port dir to be a symlink to a directory.
Add support for the case where some catetories are missing in a
ports tree.
[Submitted by: Jos Backus <josb@cncdsl.com>]
pkgdb:
Fix a type error and unbreak date-based pkg glob.
[Reported by: Ollivier Robert <roberto@keltia.freenix.fr>]
portupgrade:
Silence pkg_info when it does not find a package.
[Submitted by: Jimmy Olgeni <olgeni@uli.it>]
pkgdb:
Make pkgdb fixer's dependency guesser aware of language specific
categories. Now it suggests ja-qt-2.3.1 instead of qt-1.45_1 for
a missing qt-2.3.1.
Do not fail over a package entry that has no +COMMENT file, like an
XFree86 package entry faked by the FreeBSD installer.
[Reported by: Ollivier Robert <roberto@eurocontrol.fr>]
portsdb:
Do not allow specifying a ports glob using a relative path to the
current directory. This prevents the tools from confusing when the
current directory is under PORTS_DIR.
Give a better progress display.
create a new database for the very first time. (Run "pkgdb -fu" if you have
20011006 installed)
Fix MAN1 entries.
Remove old database pkgdb.byfile.db on installation.
(new database is named pkgdb.db)
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.
overall:
- Work around pkg_info(1)'s "feature" where it gets info from
package files under the packages directory prior to installed
packages.
[Reported by: kuwa@flab.fujitsu.co.jp]
portupgrade:
- Skip ports that are marked as IGNORE.
[Requested by: Jimmy Olgeni <olgeni@uli.it>]
portsdb:
- Stop specifying -j# when making a ports index to avoid outputting
a buggy INDEX.
portsclean:
- Do not assume a distinfo file is in each port's own directory, and
use `make -V MD5_FILE', in order to support master-slave ports
properly.
Now that RUBY_ARCH has been changed not to include a minor version of
the system, you no longer need to have ruby_s in order to cope with
the migration problem with a minor system upgrade like 4.3 -> 4.4.
You will need ruby_static only if you are going to do a major upgrade
of your system like 4.3 -> 5.0.
portupgrade:
- Support the environment variable PKG_PATH which is supported by
pkg_add(1).
- Try to fetch the latest version of a package if the exactly
same version as the port is not found in the package site.
portupgrade:
- Add a new option -b/--backup-packages, which keeps backup packages
of the old versions'.
Requested by: mistral@imasy.or.jp (Yoshihiko SARUMARU)
pkg_fetch:
- Accept a full URI as well.
- Do not try both All and Latest; now one must put an @ at the end
of a package name if one wants to omit the version part.
("cyrus-sasl@", etc.)
- Obsolete the PACKAGEBASE environment variable.
- If -f is specified, remove existing packages if they are corrupt.
- Do not depend on the ports database.
portsclean:
- Fix the command line help regarding -D and -DD.
Submitted by: Jimmy Olgeni <olgeni@uli.it>
compdefs:
- Fix stupid bugs in the zsh compdefs.
overall:
- Allow using regexp in a glob pattern on the spot, by just putting a
regexp preceded by a colon (:).
- Thereby deprecate -E/--regex, which is evil because it changes the
global status. (but the option is still kept for compatibility)
portupgrade:
- Return correct exit status.
[Reported by: Trevin Chow <trevin@mail.com>]
portinstall:
- Read the env variable PORTUPGRADE. (it read PORTINSTALL previously)
pkg_fetch:
- Be even more smart in deciding which to try first, All or Latest.
overall:
- Fix a bug where a glob expansion did not work as expected when in a
port direcotry.
portupgrade:
- Fix a bug where a port not listed in the INDEX failed to install
because of a dependency error.
portversion:
- Work around a feature of the option parser library where -l= is
treated as -l "". Now portversion -l= and portversion -L= will work
just as pkg_version(8) does.
portupgrade:
- Make portupgrade download packages using pkg_fetch(1) when -FP is
given. (also aware of -R, -f and -v)
pkg_fetch:
- Be more intelligent and try All and Latest in the proper order.
- Return a non-zero status value when some are failed.
- Change -r to -R, since it recurses upwards through dependencies.
Overall:
- Fix glob expansion routines not to see a "No such package is
installed" error when it is actually installed. It was broken when
I hacked them to allow rather stupid patterns.
portupgrade:
- Add a new option -M/--make-env, with which a user can specify
arguments to prepend to each make(1) command line. Any wrapper or
environment variable assignment can be prepended.
- Make -RF invoke the `fetch-recursive' target.
Suggested by: Jimmy Olgeni <olgeni@uli.it>
- Optimize the combination of make(1) targets.
- Fix a bug where it causes an error when portsdb detects a DB_VERSION
bump.
Reported by: Ollivier Robert <roberto@eurocontrol.fr>
- Add a new option for portsdb(1): -f/--force, so you can force it to
update database regardless of timestamps.
- Bump DB_VERSION, since PkgVersion was changed a bit.
Reported by: fritz.heinrichmeyer@fernuni-hagen.de
- Add a missing argument for Dir::chdir_do().
Reported by: "Li-lun Wang (Leland Wang)" <llwang@infor.org>
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.
- Fix a stupid bug in the last version when generating a pkgname as a
string.
- Fix a stupid sorting bug in portsclean -L.
and some minor corrections that don't really matter.
Reported by: Jimmy Olgeni <olgeni@uli.it>
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!
Overall:
- Fix commands and libraries to run on a statically linked ruby.
- If a command fails to load dynamic modules with dynamically linked ruby,
restart itself with statically linked ruby.
This is to cope with the 4.3 -> 4.4 upgrade, since ruby's dynamic modules
are under a directory with a name including a FreeBSD version. Now
portupgrade can upgrade itself and ruby even after a major FreeBSD upgrade.
portupgrade:
- Fix a bug where portupgrade -sS 'su root -c %s' did not properly work.
[Submitted by: KOMATSU Shinichiro <koma2@jiro.c.u-tokyo.ac.jp>]
portcvsweb:
- Accept a port path as well.
portsdb:
- Adopt better error handling and a better PORTS_DBDIR selection algorithm.
- Check database errors a bit harder.
Overall:
* Fix a bug where when -R is set the specified package in the first
place is not included somehow.
[Reported by: Jose M. Alcaide <jose@we.lc.ehu.es>]
* Improve the path regularization routines.
portsdb:
* Update the INDEX first, and then the database even if the options
are specified in reversed order. (-uU)
portupgrade:
* Fix a misfeature where "skip" was regarded as failure, when checking
for dependent ports' build/install failure.
[Pointed out by: Jimmy Olgeni <olgeni@uli.it>, Jose M. Alcaide
<jose@we.lc.ehu.es>]
* Do not move a backup package under PKG_DBDIR, but just keep it under
TMPDIR. It should not require a large amount of free space in
PKG_DBDIR.
[Pointed out by: John Merryweather Cooper <jmcoopr@webmail.bmi.net>]
Overall:
- Disregard -r and -R when -a is also specified; there is no
need to recurse when you do with everything.
- Fix a bug in -r and -R routines where it might fail in error
if dependencies of a package were all wrong.
[Caught by: Mamoru Iwaki <iwaki@bsp.bc.niigata-u.ac.jp>]
- Fix the support for the case where PORTSDIR is a symlink.
- Squeeze //'s.
- Run `stty sane' before building each port, on interrupt, and
before exit.
- Accept portorigin_glob and pkgname_glob with paths, except
for -x/--exclude.
portupgrade:
- Fix `portupgrade -Ni' (portinstall -i).
- Skip ports and packages that once failed, and do not try to
upgrade multiple packages of an origin.
- If a port or a package failed to build or install, skip its
dependents. This behavior can be overridden by the new
option, -g/--go-on.
pkgdepfix:
- Backup +CONTENTS files before removing duplicates.
portsclean:
- Start implementing -L/--libclean.
misc/tcsh/complete.sample:
- Add a simple example of tcsh completion definitions.

portupgrade:
Fix -A and -B which were broken when I introduced -L.
[Submitted by: Ollivier Robert <roberto@keltia.freenix.fr>]
portsdb:
Implement -M/--master-recursive, -R/--upward-recursive and
-x/--exclude, and sort the result in dependency order.
portsdb:
Do not clobber the INDEX file until the new one is ready,
so you don't have a zero-sized INDEX while updating it.
pkgdepfix:
Implement an origin duplicates fixer (only invoked when -o is
specified), and when it fixes one, redo the whole session.
Make the cyclic dependencies fixer a bit more intelligent.
portcvsweb:
Conform to the Secure BROWSER (SB) Specification proposed by
David A. Wheeler.
cf. http://www.dwheeler.com/browse/secure_browser.htmlhttp://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/BROWSER/
- Introduce a new environment variable "PORTS_INDEX", to specify an
alternate ports INDEX file location. You can set this to something
like `/usr/ports/INDEX.txt" not to overwrite the one under the
control of CVSup/CVS/CTM.
- Fix portinstall (portupgrade -N) which I broke recently by mistake.
- Change the report format. It shouldn't be too verbose unless you
specify -v.
pkg_deinstall/pkg_glob, portupgrade:
- Fix the glob expander to exclude not installed packages recorded
in +CONTENTS and +REQUIRED_BY files.
pkg_deinstall/pkg_glob, portupgrade, portversion:
- Properly handle regular expression errors.
pkg_glob:
- Properly define a signal handler.
- Show a better report.
portsdb: (overall)
- Try doing make INDEX when no INDEX file is present, and if it
fails raise an exception.
portupgrade:
- Add a new option: -L/--log-prefix, with which a user can save a
build & installation log file for each port/package.
- Show a concise and helpful message for each upgrading error. It
now autoatically guesses the reason of each failure using the same
algorithm that Ports Wraith's processlogs script uses.
- Fix a bug where 'portupgrade -aE' raised an error.
portversion:
- Support -r/-R/-x as other tools do.
- Fix a bug where `portversion -E' raises an error.
Fix a trivial but annoying behavior. Print progress messages during
(automatically) updating the ports database to stderr instead of
stdout, so the output of `portversion -c > script' won't contain any
unexpected progress messages.
(No bugs have been found in the previous version)
portupgrade, portversion, pkg_deinstall, pkg_glob, portsdb:
- Add a new option -E/--regex, which allows you to use the extended
regular expression instead of the shell glob pattern to specify
packages or ports.
portupgrade:
- [IMPORTANT] Turn -c/--clean and -C/--cleanup on by default.
[Suggested by: Ian Dowse <iedowse@maths.tcd.ie>}
- Now that -c/--clean is on by default, -Fc no longer means
"fetch-only + do distclean before each fetch". Instead, a new
option -D/--distclean is added which can be used with or without
-F/--fetch.
- Add new options -w/--noclean and -W/--nocleanup.
- Always do `make clean-depends' before building dependent ports.
- Add a new option -E/--regex, which allows you to use the extended
regular expression to specify packages.
- Add a long option --use-packages-only for -PP.
- Rewrite the WARNING section of the manpage and mention
pkgdepfix(1) in it.
[Suggested by: Ian Dowse <iedowse@maths.tcd.ie>]
pkg_glob, pkg_deinstall:
- Add back long options.
dependencies.
- Fix a bug in the cyclic dependencies handler where it couldn't
always cope with a cycle properly.
[Problem found by: Fritz Heinrichmeyer <jfh@jfh00.fernuni-hagen.de>]
- Don't emit a confusing error message "Cannot update the ports DB!"
on a recoverable error.
- Implement a cyclic dependencies fixer in pkgdepfix(1).
(Cyclic dependencies could never be generated if ports are made
properly..)
portsclean:
- Rewrite in Ruby and implement the distfiles cleaner. [new]
portsdb:
- Show a progress message while updating INDEX.*.
- Record version information into INDEX.rdo.
- Record category information into INDEX.rdo and enhance the API
accordingly.
- Introduce the automatic PORTS_DBDIR selector. Now it will use
whichever writable directory in the following ones: $PORTS_DBDIR,
$PORTS_DIR, /usr/ports, $PKG_DBDIR, /var/db/pkg, $TMPDIR, /var/tmp,
/tmp (checked in the order named)
portcvsweb:
- New tool: a tool to open CVSweb to view a CVS log. [new]
pkg_deinstall:
- Bring in most of the options of pkg_delete(1).
- Add a new option `-P', which preserves shared libraries.
- List failed packages if any.
- Obsolete GNU style long options, which take space and would
only rarely be used.
portupgrade:
- Make portupgrade use pkg_deinstall instead of pkg_delete, to
utilize its -P option.
- Now portupgrade always uninstalls old packages, but
preserves shared libraries by default. The -u option has
been changed to mean "Do not preserve old shared libraries".
Note, however, that its behavior is the same as before, it
is just the default behavior that has been changed.
With this change, portupgrade no longer leaves extra garbage
even if you don't specify -u, but only old versions of
shared libraries for safety. :)
- Utilize $tmpdir properly for pkg_tarup. (previously
PKGREPOSITORY was used prior to PKG_TMPDIR or TMPDIR)
- Add a notice regarding the disk space for backup files.
Since it's my birthday today, I just wish this update doesn't contain
terrible bugs.. ;)
overall:
- Fix commands not to quit when user answers ^D to a yes/no question.
- Call pkg_* commands in fullpaths.
portupgrade:
- When -s is specified, run sudo to build & install dependent ports
when some are missing, too.
portsclean:
- This is a new command which cleans ports' working directories.
portupgrade:
- Make portupgrade a little bit more fail-safe by restoring modified
dependency info on installation failure.
portversion:
- Make portversion refer to the ports database and run several times
faster. (!)
portsdb:
- Do not immediately fail in error when it finds an error in the INDEX
file, but skip the line and continue.

Introduce a new environment variable PORTS_DBDIR, which specifies
an alternative ports database directory. This is useful when
/usr/ports is on a readonly filesystem.
[Requested by: Makoto MATSUSHITA <matusita@jp.freebsd.org>]
Warn and abort the update if PORTS_DBDIR is not writable,
instead of just failing in error.
-B CMD
--beforebuild CMD Run the sapecified command before each build. If the

skipped. Here is some typical uses:
portupgrade -B 'cvs update' 'gnome*'
portupgrade -aB 'test ! `make -V IS_INTERACTIVE`'
-x GLOB
--exclude GLOB Exclude packages matching the specified glob pattern.
Exclusion is performed after recursing dependency in
response to -r and/or -R, which means, for example,
the following command will upgrade all the packages
depending on XFree86 but leave XFree86 as it is:
portupgrade -rx XFree86 XFree86
portupgrade:
Add a new option: -N/--new. If it is specified, portupgrade
installs a new one when a specified package is not installed.
portinstall:
New command equivalent to `portupgrade -N'. You can specify a port
origin to name the one you want to install, too:
e.g. `portinstall shells/zsh'
This is a maintenance release.
- Manpages provided.
- Ports DB got faster.
- Wording fixed.
- New feature added to portsdb(1): you can use it to expand
port/pkgname globs. (archivers/p5-*, zsh, gnome*, etc.)
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>]]

pkgdepfix:
- Implement origin fixer with intelligent guessing, finally!
(-o/--fix-origin)
- Make pkgdep guessing more intelligent.
portupgrade:
- Change the meaning of -P/--use-packages. If specified once, it
uses packages whenever available or uses ports. If specified
twice, it never try to use ports but only uses packages.
- The package directory is now specified via the environment
variable, by PKGREPOSITORY and PKGREPOSITORYSUBDIR.
Print the usages to stdout instead of stderr.
portupgrade:
- Implement -P/--use-packages, which everyone bugged me with. :>
pkgdepfix:
- Add "delete" to the choices as to how to deal with a stale
dependency.
- Alter the prompt message.
- Add zsh compdef.
pkgdepfix:
- Implement automatic guessing.
- Add yes-to-all to the choices of yes/no prompt.
- Do "stty sane" on interrupt.
portupgrade:
- Backing up +REQUIRED_BY must have been done before pkg_delete.
[Submitted by: SASAKI Katuhiro <sahiro@vanilla.freemail.ne.jp>]
Because of the portupgrade bug, portupgrade -u would have broken some
of your +REQUIRED_BY files. Please fix them up with pkgdepfix.
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.
I think I have finally fixed the problem some people have seen that it
deletes a package registry in some cases! At the same time, -m and -p
now works properly again.
Those problems were all due to Shellwords::shellwords' destroying its
given string. Thanks to Tadayuki OKADA <tadayuki@mediaone.net> for
sending me a report that made me realize what the problem was.
* No need to recurse @pkgdep search, really.
* Support the latest pkg_tarup.
* Backup +REQUIRED_BY a bit earlier, just in case.
* If it fails to copy the new +REQUIRED_BY to the package's dbdir,
emit a message and save the file in TMPDIR.
portupgrade:
- Fix a bug that -s/--sort didn't work. D'oh!
- Make -u/--uninstall fail-safe. It backs up old
installations with the help of pkg_tarup and restores on
installation failure.
- Show option errors more gracefully.
- Die on signals more gracefully.
portversion:
- Show option errors more gracefully.
- Die on signals more gracefully.
This is a milestone release for me. Enjoy. :>
portupgrade changes:
- Implement -s/--sort which sorts packages in the dependency order.
- Implement -R/--upward-recursive, and get -r/--recursive working for
upgrading as well. (Finally!)
- Add -DBATCH to the make fetch' commandline to prevent ports from
dumbly waiting for user input.
Greatly inspired by: Jimmy Olgeni <olgeni@uli.it> (Thanks!!)
portversion changes:
- Make command output optimal by using portupgrade's -s option.
- Report possible ports' Makefile breakage.

(He suggested -e, but I prefered -F)
Show what version a package is upgraded to to help a user decide
whether to upgrade or not.
Submitted by: Timothy Smith <tim@mysql.com>
Resurrect portversion for what it's worth as a reference code. The
problems that kept it from working has been addressed and will
hopefully be fixed soon. :)
does handle versions correctly.
By the way, I'll have to find a workaround for the ruby's thread
vs. libc_r (stdio/malloc) problem exposed by portversion... Hmm.

* portupgrade: Change the timing of the invocation of the
beforebuild command so that "portupgrade -B'cvs update' foo" works.
Reported by: Ollivier Robert <roberto@eurocontrol.fr>
2001-03-23 04:06 knu
* portversion: Fix the implication of a '*'. (portversion -v did
nothing ;)
Reported by: Tadayuki OKADA <tadayuki.okada@windriver.com>

* pkgdb.rb: Skip packages with illegal names showing an informative
message rather than dying of an error.
Reported by: Ollivier Robert <roberto@eurocontrol.fr>
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.
- Use Dir.entries(dir).each instead of Dir.glob(dir) so it does not
hit the just installed packages.
- Add -p option. [make package as well when each port is installed]
(Requested by: Ollivier Robert <roberto@eurocontrol.fr>)
- Sort options in alphabetical order.
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.
