- make pkg version -r imply -R
- Some fixes for the progression display
- Rename some variables in security periodic scripts.
- Parse FreeBSD OS version and forbid to install too new packages
Changes from pkg 1.10.99.5 to 1.10.99.6
- Lots of fixes/improvements on periodic scripts
- Fix typo in the .pc file
- Only check for origin if the strings contains / in pkg version
- Support flags when exporting the metalog
- Ignore flags when installing as a user
- fix again using pattern as package arch

Changes from pkg 1.10.99.4 to 1.10.99.5
- pkg clean is now happy if the cache dir non existing
- 410.pkg-audit now uses anticongestion on freebsd 12
- fix pkg install -r foo if foo is a disabled repository
- fix elf handling on non FreeBSD
- fix support for platforms without AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW
- fix dropping privileges on Linux

- better ABI name on linux
- lots of changes in internal API to use fd when possible
- removed option: pkg repo -L
Changes from pkg 1.10
- Use dep_formula in the solver
- Cache pw result to avoid over reloading nssswitch.conf
- Remove pkg2ng and support for pkg_ databases
The changes since version 1.99.4 appear to be:
- Fix pkg register issues with some version of libarchive:
* hardlinks not being made hardlinks sometime
* issues when PREFIX is a symlink to another directory
- Use portable mechanism to find the number of CPUs which allows pkg repo to be
faster on linux
Performing substitutions during post-patch breaks tools such as mkpatches,
making it very difficult to regenerate correct patches after making changes,
and often leading to substituted string replacements being committed.
- Add progress when fetching (number of files to fetch)
- Improved messages about locked packages
- Return 1 when a user rejects the proposed plan
- When dealing with configuration files '@config' never overwrites
untracked files
- Warn everyone about deprecation of @dirrm and @exec
- Deduplicate metadata loading code
- pkg register now understands context aware messages
The default for PKG_DBDIR changed from /var/db/pkg to ${LOCALBASE}/pkgdb
Accordingly, the pkgng location is changing from /var/db/pkgng to
${LOCALBASE}/pkgng-db
Several updates in pkgsrc-synth work are applicable to pkgtools/pkg so
let's bring them in. Some changes:
1) fetching segfault fixed
2) change VULNXML URL from FreeBSD ports to pkgsrc version
3) Fix vulnerability report URLs (404) to valid ones (DragonFlyBSD.org)
4) Add ability to build debuggable version
5) Fix PKG_DBDIR default setting for pkg (honor mk.conf)
6) Fix another segfault on NetBSD when pkg(8) attempts to read elfhints.
This is only valid on FreeBSD and DragonFly, so bring in upstream
fix to block on other platforms.
7) Set as BOOTSTRAP_PKG and block USE_CWRAPPERS for bootstrap reasons
8) realign SUBST* definitions
The CONF_FILES are never installed if their target directories don't
already exist due to other previous installation. This adds several
@pkgdir entries to ensure the CONF_FILES installation can always succeed.
While here, simplify the post-install target.
Rather than defaulting to /var/db/pkgng, use the variable that exists
already for this purpose. Similarly, change cache directory definition
from /var/cache/pkgng to ${VARBASE}/cache/pkgng
As pointed out by jperkins, defaulting to builder's setting for PKGSRCDIR
for the sources isn't aways correct for the binary package consumers.
This is not a problem unique to pkgtools/pkg and really requires a system-
wide solution. Until there is such a global variable, rename the PORTSDIR
variable to PKG.portsdir and allow it to be modified by e.g. make.conf.
In the case of pkg, PORTSDIR just refers to a default configuration
location which is overridable by a configuration file.
This:
- fixes the "/usr/ports" paths in code and man pages to
${PKGSRCDIR} (normal) or hardcoded to "/usr/pkgsrc" (future, its for
builders like Synth and poudriere)
- changes default DB path from "/var/db/pkg" to "/var/db/pkgng". It
seems the original default was too ambiguous as "pkg" is used
everywhere in pkgsrc and it's the default format (not pkgng format)
- similarly, changes default CACHE patch from "/var/cache/pkg" to
"/var/cache/pkgng"
- bumps PKGREVISION again
Another relevant comment from John and reworded by myself for context:
(all misquotings mine)
« Importantly, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and DragonFly all provide libarchive
in base. Therefore, this changes the port to use the base version when
available because the libarchive requirement is considered heavy. The
OpenSSL dependency brings a lot with, including perl. When trying to
update the bootstrap to build pkgng instead of pkg_* tools, it is
critical that the dependencies remain low. Other platforms will have
to suffer with the libarchive requirement if they want to use pkgng.
Following this, special linking code is needed for DragonFly since the
SSL libraries are now private. In fact, the only userland program
allowed to link with them is pkg(8) for bootstrapping reasons listed
above. »
Thanks again!
This does:
- remove the requirement for C++ (there is no C++ code there)
- properly substitute $PKGSRCDIR for PORTSDIR
- remove sbin/pkg2ng as it is inapplicable for pkgsrc
- bump PKGREVISION accordingly
More changes pending...
This also adds two patches, to fix the "major OS upgrade detected" error
in NetBSD. A file missing from the original archive was imported too.
Bump package revision as the upstream was changed. The archive downloaded
has a different filename, so there should be no conflict in the
"distfiles" folder.
From John Marino, thanks!
For 1.8.0:

Existing SHA1 digests verified and found to be the same on the machine
holding the existing distfiles (morden). All existing SHA1 digests
retained for now as an audit trail.
pkg is built on top of libpkg, a new library to interface with package
registration backends. It abstracts package management details such as
registration, remote repositories, package creation, updating, etc.
+ Add a pkg_install package, in the pkgtools category, which is a copy
of NetBSD-current's /usr/src/usr.sbin/pkg_install sources, as of
August 28th 1998. This version of the pkg_* tools includes a version
of pkg_info(1) which echoes matching package names, understands sh(1)
globbing, csh(1)-style {,} alternates, and Dewey decimal version
number relational matching.
