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.
- Use buildlink framework.
- NO_CONFIGURE=yes
- Enable pkgviews installation.
Changes in 2.5:
- In afio.h ulo and ull macros, added L and LL letters in constants.
- Documented `long long' issues in PORTING file. Removed ifdeffed
typedef ulonglong porting hacks from the afio.h file.
- Changed mknod() call to mkfifo() call when creating named pipe from
archive. Freebsd cannot make named pipes with mknod.
- Added some extra defines to suppress some warnings on sun platform.
Also added some stuff around awk invocations in makefile and regtest
to make things easier on sun -- the sun platform I tried it on had a
default awk that was too ancient to understand things like gsub.
- Added some discussion of sun and freebsd to PORTING file.
- Fix to regression test: no longer complains if two compared directory
inodes have a size difference. Bases on bug report by vasudeva.
- Changed sanity check on the stdin at the start of executing -o mode:
now the check only happens if stdin is a tty. This allows scripts to
make empty archives, and is needed for compatibility with tob. Based
on problem report by Dirk Eddelbuettel.
- Changed read() to readall() in outdata().
- Updated SCRIPTS file.
The nudge came from a netbsd-help posting by Thomas Hafner and a URL
posted by Jeremy Reed.
Afio makes cpio-format archives. It deals somewhat gracefully with
input data corruption. Supports multi-volume archives during
interactive operation. Afio can make compressed archives that are
much safer than compressed tar or cpio archives. Afio is best used as
an `archive engine' in a backup script.
