. Don't download packages when repository is a file:// scheme
. Reduce verbosity when marking non-autoremovable packages
. Keep going if unmet requirements are encountered and warn about
it before proceeding
. Always move pkg_install on top of the "to-upgrade" list
. pkgin now depends on pkgsrc's pkg_install
. Log timestamp
. Better handling of pkg_install error logs
. rec_pkglist() now takes a va_list
. Added "requires" and "provides" to have a closer look on packages
requirements
. Globs can now be passed as an argument for package installation, i.e.
# pkgin in 'mysql-server<5.1'
. Export / import a list of packages as requested by wiz@
. Operations tracing flag (-t)
. Database silent migration
. More flexible check_yesno()
. Made pkgin in / rm yes by default
. One struct to rule them all (Pkglist)
. Got rid of many useless lists (speed x10, literally)
. Introduced FULLPKGNAME as db member, speed ups searches
. unique_pkg(): no more "many versions of foo", pickup newer
FIX: Do not use packages with non-empry PKG_FAIL_REASON for building
a dependency graph if there are ones without such marker. This
unbreaks rare failures of bulk builds.
Changes in dependency graph generation. Old algorithm leads to too
many failures caused by weak [BUILD_]DEPENDS in pkgsrc. Old
algorithm is available using "distbb -m1".
rmd160 and sha512 checksums are generated for packages in pkg_summary(5).
A number of sanity checks and tips for packagers have been
implemented which are a part of final report.
stage_report has been renamed to stage_send_report
New script pkg_summary2build_deps for building dependency graph
fix in "nih deps": option -t now works correctly
fix: ~/.nih/config has higher priority than @sysconfdir@/nih/config
Thanks to Jan Smydke for the report!
fix: Create "$CACHEDIR/All" on startup.
Thanks to Zafer Aydogan for the report.
nih.default.conf:
- REPOSITORY defaults to ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/...
Default nih.conf:
- One more example of use
Support for "try_out" marker was added. New options for subcommands:
nih install -t, nih remove -t, nih list -t and nih mark -t/-T.
See manual page for details.
nih install:
- after downloading binary packages it checks for common files in
PLIST fields. If unregistered conflicts are detected, nih exits
with error. This can be disabled using NO_PLIST_CHECK variable.
- New option -a was added for running pkg_add(8) directly.
nih history:
- "automatic" and "try_out" flags are registered and output.
- outputs a warning message if NO_INSTALLED_COPY is set.
nih install|remove:
- New option -l was added for keeping auto-removable leaf
packages.
nih verify:
- New option -s was added for comparing running OS and OS packages
were built for.
nih:
- New global option -s was added for specifying path to
pkg_summary(5).
~/.nih/installed_* files are compressed by bzip2 at creation time.
Version 0.56.0, by Aleksey Cheusov, Sun, 28 Aug 2011 12:05:00 +0300
pkg_cmp_summary:
- New option -O was added for specifying fields for
output without using them for comparison
Version 0.55.0, by Aleksey Cheusov, Sat, 27 Aug 2011 20:14:53 +0300
pkg_lint_summary:
- New option -f option was added that checks files in PLIST
fields given on input and warns about files common for several
packages.
- New option -p option was added for specifying prefix directory
used by option -l.
- New option -n was added that analyses PLIST and CONFLICTS
fields in input summaries and outputs unregistered conflicts.
- New option -s was added that checks OPSYS, OS_VERSION and
MACHINE_ARCH fields given on input and warns if they differ from
that of running system (uname -srm).
pkg_cmp_summary:
- New options -a and -A were added for specifying fields for
comparing in addition to package versions.
- New option -E was added. It works together with -A and changes
its output.
- Options -c and -b were reimplemented using more generic -a.
- Examples section was added to pkg_cmp_summary.1
pkg_bin_summary:
- New option -e option was added for effectively using
pkg_bin_summary with xargs (xargs -r is not portable).
- New option -k was added for enriching binary package summaries
with checksums using algorithms supported by digest(1)
pkg_digger_backend:
- Mixed -1|-3|-9 options are now handled correctly.
pkg_summary2leaves:
- When no files are given as arguments (stdin),
pkg_summary2leaves outputs an error message.
Regression tests have been reorganized. One test - one file.
Some manual pages were updated and improved.

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

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

20110122
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.
- Go back to manual installation to avoid problems on unprivileged
NetBSD installation. This fixes PR pkg/44415 by Hauke Fath.
- Don't install "rpm2pkg.cat8" any more as it is not really useful.
- Major overhaul of the source code to make maintenance and support
for new compression formats easier.
- Use "liblzma" instead of "xzcat" for dealing with LZMA compressed RPMs.
Drop unnecessary dependences on "gettext-lib" and Berkeley DB. Neither
of them have been necessary when this package stopped depending on the
"rpm" package.
Approved by Thomas Klausner.
- Use "xzcat" instead of "lzcat". This package now doesn't depend on the
"archivers/xz" package under NetBSD-current because "xzcat" is part of
the base distribution.
Set PKGNAME_REQD to give underlying make processes a chance to set
options derived from the package name. For example, the appropriate
version of Python can be derived from the package name (so, when
building py25-foo, use python-2.5, not python-2.6). Specifically,
MAKE_SET_VARS='PKGNAME_REQD=${pkg}-*'
From Alan Barret via pkgsrc-users@.
Sometimes, the set of packages to be replaced ($REPLACE_TODO) does not
have any members which are installed (and hence in $TSORTED). This
caused the loop over $TSORTED to not find any packages to replace.
The check for not having found one was missing, resulting in the last
package in TSORTED being replaced. Because $REPLACE_TODO is still
non-empty, this repeats.
This patch adds an abort when no packages in $TSORTED are in
$REPLACE_TODO. Analysis and patch from Ian D. Leroux on
pkgsrc-users@.
NetBSD-current after last weekends xorg imports.
Remove Xmu files from xorg file list, they are in xorg.libXmu list.
Bump version to 0.61 and depend on it in bl3.mk.
all depending packages have their dependencies satisfied by the new
package. Essentially, split off this particular behavior as a special
case of -f, so that -f works as before, unforced works as before, and
one can give -D to override exactly this check, leaving all other
checks intact.
The -D flag is in support of make replace, as the workflow for make
replace is that inter-package dependencies are sometimes violated (but
then one must replace the depending packages, which is what
pkg_rolling-replace does via the unsafe_depends flags).
Bump PKGTOOLS_VERSION.
Add missing break statement in option parsing of "pkg_add -C", riding
the version bump.
Discussed extensively on tech-pkg@ over the summer.
OK pkgsrc-pmc@.
- Fix a fundamental problem which meant that the package included links
for builtin components that "pkgsrc" will not use because they are too old.
- Remove NetBSD specific "pixman" hack that is no longer necessary.
- Add a nasty hack to deal with the "pixman" issue under NetBSD 5.1*
(and 5.0?) which provides an old version of "libpixman" with a higher
major number than the package in "pkgsrc".
