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.

Portupgrade is a tool to upgrade installed packages via ports or
|
|
packages. It upgrades installed packages without reinstalling
|
|
depending or dependent packages by directly updating the package
|
|
registry database located under /var/db/pkg, while it can also trace
|
|
dependency chains up and down to upgrade packages recursively.
|
|
|
|
This package also includes the following utilities:
|
|
portinstall: Helps you install new ports in a handy way.
|
|
portcvsweb: Instantly browses a history via CVSweb.
|
|
portversion: Replaces pkg_version(1), runs much faster and is
|
|
cooperative with portupgrade(1).
|
|
portsclean: Cleans ports workdir's, unreferenced distfiles and
|
|
old and orphan shared libraries.
|
|
portsdb: Creates binary database from the ports INDEX.
|
|
ports_glob: Expands ports globs.
|
|
pkg_deinstall: Wraps pkg_delete(1) and provides extra features.
|
|
pkg_fetch: Fetches packages from a remote site.
|
|
pkg_glob: Expands package globs.
|
|
pkg_which: Checks which package a file came from quickly.
|
|
pkgdb: Manipulate the package database and interactively
|
|
fixes most problems in the /var/db/pkg registry.
