Every separate field (PKGPATH, PKGNAME, COMMENT etc.) may be queried
separately and multiple fields may be queried too. A lot of search
strategies are available. Set of fields and search strategies may
very depending on your server configuration. Search in multiple
"repositories" is supported too, e.g. search in binary repository
or in pkgsrc source tree.
Communication protocol is a well known dictionary protocol described
in RFC-2229. Server may run dictd or any other dictionary protocol
server. For dictd see http://www.dict.org and
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dict
pkg_online has minimal amount of things specific to pkgsrc and can
easily be adapted to any other packageing systems.
Of course it is based on pkg_summary-utils ;-)
pkg_list_all_pkgs - list (in PKGPATH form) all packages in pkgsrc tree
pkg_src_summary - create a full pkg_src_summary
for given (in PKGPATH form) packages
pkg_bin_summary - creates a summary for binary or installed packages
pkg_micro_src_summary - create a micro pkg_src_summary
for given (in PKGPATH form) packages
pkg_cmp_summary - compare two summary files, i.e. packages
are compared by their versions
pkg_grep_summary - grep the summary using AWK expression
pkg_digger - very powerful package searcher
pkg_digger_backend - pkg_summary.txt backend for pkg_digger
pkg_update_summary - updates pkg_summary(5) by analysing the
modification
time of binary packages and pkg_summary(5) file
pkg_update_src_summary - efficiently updates pkg_src_summary for all
packages in pkgsrc tree
pkg_summary4view - convert a summary file to human readable format
pkg_refresh_summary - output an information about latest/newest version
of packages
pkg_cleanup_distdir - remove old unused distfiles
pkg_uniq_summary - filter out repeated package summaries
pkg_summary2deps - summary to dependency graph converter
pkg_subgraph_deps - analyses dependency graph given on input
pkg_lint_summary - sanity checks for summaries
pkg_summary2leaves - output leaf packages

pkgin can now upgrade pkg_install with user's approval
20110228
url_stat's size is declared as off_t, will be > SSIZE_MAX on
32 bits systems. Added a fix for this.
20110227
Added -P, print package version instead of globs in sd, srd, sfd
Added warning for repositories with 0-lenght FILE_SIZE
Added -V (verbosity) flag
Moved integer flags to uint8_t
-D provides the previous behaviour of creating patches in $WRKDIR/.newpatches
-d dir specifies the directory where the patches will be created.
Requested by Aleksey Cheusov for read-only pkgsrc checkouts.
Fix minor bugs while here.
Bump version.

Merged 0.4.0 to HEAD
MINIX patches from Gautam are now upstream
Re-added download-only
Makefile.in / configure.ac cleanup
Integrated some of bapt's patches
- chroot
- bandwidth calculation

pkgin 0.4.0
SQLite "Amalgamation" version is now part of the tree,
No more databases/sqlite3 dependency needed
It is based on ancient bsd.prefs.mk and not works as expected for SUA,
because all SUA (5.2, 6.0 and 6.1) have libc.so.5.2 (and also old version).
Moreover shlibname base OS version was introduced to speed up to avoid invoking
`uname', but in this script, `uname' always will be invoked.
Smarter pkgdiff, doesn't create chunks that are added automatically
by the pkgsrc infrastructure (configure:exit instead of regenerate,
Makefile: localedir).
mkpatches: patch file names now contain the path to the file and its name
per discussion on tech-pkg June 2010.
Also, the files are created directly in the patches/ directory; backups
are saved as patches/patch-foo.orig.
patchdiff: now compares patches/patch-foo with patches/patch-foo.orig;
if they only differ in non-essential parts, patchdiff reinstates the
original patch to keep commits less noisy.
