v2.1.5: Made the md5sum detection consistent with the header code. Check for
the presence of the archive directory. Added --encrypt for symmetric encryption
through gpg (Eric Windisch). Added support for the digest command on Solaris 10
for MD5 checksums. Check for available disk space before extracting to the
target directory (Andreas Schweitzer). Allow extraction to run asynchronously
(patch by Peter Hatch). Use file descriptors internally to avoid error messages
(patch by Kay Tiong Khoo).
v2.1.6: Replaced one dot per file progress with a realtime progress percentage
and a spining cursor. Added --noprogress to prevent showing the progress during
the decompression. Added --target dir to allow extracting directly to a target
directory. (Guy Baconniere)
v2.2.0: First major new release in years! Includes many bugfixes and user
contributions. Please look at the project page on Github for all the details.
v2.3.0: Support for archive encryption via GPG or OpenSSL. Added LZO and LZ4
compression support. Options to set the packaging date and stop the umask from
being overriden. Optionally ignore check for available disk space when
extracting. New option to check for root permissions before extracting.
v2.3.1: Various compatibility updates. Added unit tests for Travis CI in the
GitHub repo. New --tar-extra, --untar-extra, --gpg-extra,
--gpg-asymmetric-encrypt-sign options.
v2.4.0: Added optional support for SHA256 archive integrity checksums.
Problems found with existing distfile for eagle:
distfiles/bicom101.zip
distfiles/szip-2.1nb3/szip-2.1.tar.gz
distfiles/xmill-0.9.1.tar.gz
No changes made to these distinfo files.
Otherwise, 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.
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
"extract" script for extraction. Many cases where a custom EXTRACT_CMD
simply copied the distfile into the work directory are no longer
needed. The extract script also hides differences between pax and
tar behind a common command-line interface, so we no longer need code
that's conditional on whether EXTRACT_USING is tar or pax.
archivers/makeself.
makeself is a (very small) shell script that makes neat
self-extracting shell scripts, and allows you to specify a "setup"
command to execute upon finishing. This is in a similar concept to
Windows winzip self-extracting archives.
Noticed in the FreeBSD ports collection.
