Ion-Mihai Tetcu 0417855e9b This is tinderbox 3.0.0 release with patches (see bellow).
Changes in 3.0 include:
* The www-exp module has been renamed webui, and a new web frontend has
been added called paefchen.
* All Tinderbox commands with the exception of tinderd are now performed
using the tc utility.
* The Hosts system has been removed as it was not really used, and not
really suited to the purpose of distributed builds.  The ground work has
been laid to support distributed builds, but that is not present in 3.0.
* A DISTFILE_URI config directive has been introduced to allow for
distributed distfile caches.
* The latest port fail reasons and patterns have been synced from
pointyhat.
* The total size taken by a port build (in KB) is now tracked in the
database.  This can be obtained using the command ``tc getPortTotalSize
-d DIRECTORY -b BUILD''.
* Port build logs now contain OPTIONS and environment details.
* The ``tc addPort'' command assumes a recursive add by default.  This
can be disabled by passing the -R argument.
* Port dependencies are now recorded in the database when ``tc addPort''
is called without -R.  The dependency list can be retrieved with ``tc
getDependenciesForPort -d DIRECTORY -b BUILD''.
* The ``tc tbcleanup'' command now supports pruning stale distfiles,
stale packages, and not pruning old error logs.  See the README for
command line details.
* The default update type and update host are configurable at Setup and
Upgrade time.  The default update type has been changed from CVSUP to
CSUP.
* The last_fail_reason is now exported to the postPortBuild Hook.
* Fix the build time display if a tinderbuild takes longer than 24 hours.
* Add a new command, ``tc rescanPorts'' which updates the properties of
all ports in the datastore (including dependencies).
* Display the remake count in the webui frontends.
* Hack around a potential perl-related leftover false positive.
* A new -O option has been added to addPort/rescanPorts which enables
OPTIONS, but does not run rmconfig before calling config.  This way,
existing OPTIONS can be preserved.  The default behavior is to call
rmconfig to maintain POLA.
* The webui index page has been enhanced to make it more readable, and
more powerful.
* The number of ports not built due to dependency failures has been
added to the webui's main page.
* tc processLog -v now prints the matching text to aid with false
positive identification.

PLUS:
* In webui:
- Change tinderd queue view. Field for adding new ports is the first now.
- Show target port of current build.
- miwi's RSS module
- an other patch from miwi for inc_tinderbox.php.dist which should make
setting-up the webui easier on non-standard configurations.
* Bug-fix: Add o and O to the list of valid options for addPort.

Tinderbox is a package building system for FreeBSD ports, based on
official Portbuild scripts used on pointyhat building cluster.
Tinderbox was written by Joe Marcus Clarke.
You can define multiple jails (base system versions) and multiple
portstrees. The combination of jail and portstree is called a build.
A Tinderbox jail is not what is understood as a jail in FreeBSD,
it is in fact a given world in a chroot. Tinderbox supports automatic
tracking of dependencies and only rebuilds packages that changed
since last run. Tinderbox has support for email notification of
failed builds. Tinderbox also integrates well with ccache.
Tinderbox is designed to easily provide package sets of ports you
need, for platforms and architectures you need. Tinderbox is also
excellent tool for testing new ports and port upgrades, especially
for testing dependencies and packing lists. It's also useful for
testing ports on various releases of FreeBSD, since you can run
FreeBSD 6.X world as a jail on FreeBSD 7.X/8.X host.
