ktrace shows that the +CONTENTS file is open() by pkg_add, I believe this is in
check_already_installed(), add/perform.c:381. Then pkg_delete is run and when
it comes to deleting the pkgdir entry, it finds that .nfs file and aborts.
Bump version to 20110805
Allow "@" as a character for directories in "${WRKSRC}". This stop bogus
warnings for the "phpmyadmin" package which contains directory names
like "locale/sr@latin/LC_MESSAGES".
Change suggested by Thomas Klausner in private e-mail.
nih remove:
- FIX: -n now works correctly
Affected versions: 0.7.1-0.7.2
nih install:
- FIX: "nih install -n" doesn't change "automatic" flag anymore
- new suboption -k for continuing download after failures
- BUILD_DATE field is included to installed_*.txt files
New command "nih audit" for checking packages for vulnerabilities
New command "nih history"
nih mark:
- new suboption -A and -U, synonyms to -u and -a respectively
- if neither -a, -A, -u or -U were specified, markers are output.
nih list:
- new suboption -b for outputting packages in the repository
- new suboption -r for outputting raw package summaries
nih meta:
- new suboption -r for outputting raw package summaries
nih refresh:
- error message is output when download fails
Minor improvements in "nih -h" and manual page
Path to ftp(1) defaults to /usr/bin/ftp on NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD
and DragonFlyBSD. On other systems it defaults to tnftp from
pkgsrc.
FTP_OPTIONS and WGET_OPTIONS default to "-4" for using IPv4 only.
New configuration variable IGNORE_CKSUMS was added in order to
ignore SHA512.txt absent in some repositories.
pkg_micro_src_summary:
- support for PSS_SLAVES=nnn was added
pkg_digger:
- workaround for buggy shells (set -e; if eval false; ...)
Regression tests were updated
Fix for "Package xxx is not found" problem:
0 > nih -y install editors/emacs22
...
0 > nih -y install editors/emacs20 emacs-
Package editors/emacs20 is not found

(This avoids false positive reports in some circumstances, such as a pair
of depends on e.g. foo-2.0 and 2.0.3, and also for more complicated forms
of version numbers.)
Key features:
- several packages can be built at the same time on different
machines or chroots
- good design ;-)
- flexibility
- compactness
- no limit on a number of "slave" machines and/or chroots
- fault tolerance, e.g. failures of slave hosts is not a problem
- nice logging
This is a package manager for pkgsrc.
Available commands:
nih help - Display help message

nih status - Show status of installed packages
nih info - Show information about packages
nih meta - Output available or installed meta packages
nih search - Powerful search in packages
nih leaf - Output or remove autoinstalled leaf packages
nih list - List packages
nih mark - Mark packages
nih deps - Show dependencies
nih clean-cache - Clean-up cache directory with binaries
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
