Package Tasks

Changes in version 1.15

Released on 2017-08-23.

  • Fix bug where the ocaml_findlib and shells tasks were not preserving the ownership and permissions of existing system files when updating their contents.

  • Relax the permissions of the files created by the refcount_file implementation of the refcount task so that they are readable by anyone.

Changes in version 1.14

Released on 2017-08-14.

  • Use TASK_VERBOSE environment variable to select which tasks should emit output when invoked.

Changes in version 1.13

Released on 2017-08-08.

  • Make the output messages for the groups and users tasks easier to understand by making them slightly more verbose and changing the formatting.

Changes in version 1.12

Released on 2017-08-06.

  • Use ${GTK_UPDATE_ICON_CACHE} as the default command to update the GTK+ icon theme caches in the icon_themes task, defaulting to true if it is not set in the environment. Also force an update of the icon caches from the postremove meta-task in case the icon theme is a composite of several packages. This makes the behavior more compatible with pkgsrc.

  • Bug fixes.

Changes in version 1.11

Released on 2017-07-31.

  • Invoke install-info in a different way that matches how it is typically invoked in GNU projects.

  • Add icon_themes task to update GTK+ icon theme caches.

  • Bug fixes.

Changes in version 1.10

Released on 2017-06-03.

  • Modify Makefile.am to always use the same pathname to refer to a built object. This fixes the dependency graph in the case where make is invoked to run with multiple jobs.

  • Change the output of the directories and files tasks to be less verbose in the most common case where a directory is created or a file is copied and permissions are immediately set on the directory or file.

Changes in version 1.9

Released on 2017-05-31.

  • Adapt directories and files tasks to unconditionally set permissions when new objects are created, and to not throw errors if the object is missing because it wasn't created in an earlier step. This makes the behavior more compatible with pkgsrc.

  • Depending on the values of certain environment variables, certain add or remove actions may not actually perform operations that change the system and still return successfully. Always run the "check" actions for the corresponding main action so that any warning messages intended for the user are written to standard output.

  • Make the shlibs task output more descriptive.

Changes in version 1.8

Released on 2017-05-29.

  • Change the output of the actions taken by each task, by being slightly more brief, and also accepting an environment variable ${TASK_MSG} as the prefix string for each line of output.

  • Bug fixes.

Changes in version 1.7

Released on 2017-05-29.

  • Back out two changes to make pkgtasks more compatible with what pkgsrc needs:

    • Don't use OCAML_FINDLIB_REGISTER environment variable since it is a package-settable variable in pkgsrc, not a user- settable one.

    • Don't use PKG_CONFIG_PERMS environment variable in the permissions task, which matches its usage in pkgrsc

Changes in version 1.6

Released on 2017-05-27.

  • Adjust fonts task to run mkfontdir on TTF and Type1 font directories automatically.

  • Rename control variable PKG_RCD_SCRIPTS to PKG_INIT_SCRIPTS. This generalizes the variable name to allow for other init systems.

  • Check ${PKG_CONFIG_PERMS} in the permissions task.

  • Make the shlibs task accept LDCONFIG_ADD_CMD and LDCONFIG_REMOVE_CMD as separate command lines to update the shared library cache depending on whether the task is called to add or remove. The default action is still to invoke a bare ${LDCONFIG} command.

  • Adjust the shlibs task to accept standard input and to only update the cache if there are lines of the correct format.

  • Fix preinstall meta-task to fail properly if groups and/or users don't exist.

  • Add platform task to write the name of the platform or operating system to standard output.

  • Automatically load the platform-specific module with the correct platform_groupadd and platform_useradd functions.

  • Bug fixes and cleanup.

Changes in version 1.5

Released on 2017-05-17.

  • Support ~[string] (tilde string) in a version string to sort before a release version, e.g., 1.2~rc1 sorts before 1.2.

  • When invoking a meta-task, only be verbose when invoking tasks that typically affect system files and directories. This makes the output a bit more friendly for the typicaly user, who is no longer bombarded with every trivial GNU info file registration.

  • Bug fixes.

Changes in version 1.4

Released on 2017-05-14.

  • Allow duplicate logging of task output to a file through the echo task.

  • Added tee task to duplicate standard input to standard output and into additional files.

Changes in version 1.3

Released on 2017-05-13.

  • Generalized refcount API so the refcount-file implementation may be deprecated in the future.

  • Added option to suppress duplicate lines to the sort task.

  • Added valid_options task to simplify checking for valid flags.

  • Added function task as a generic hook for user-written tasks into the preinstall, postinstall, preremove, and postremove meta-tasks.

  • Bug fixes.

Changes in version 1.2

Released on 2017-05-07.

  • Be more consistent with using maketemp to generate internal temporary files and directories.

  • Added the sort task to sort lines from standard input.

  • Sort input when performing add action of directories task, and reverse sort when performing remove action. This causes path components to be created and removed in the correct order.

Changes in version 1.1

Released on 2017-05-05

  • Added the which task to locate a program in the search path.

  • Changed the fonts task to search for indexing commands in the search path before falling back to defaults. This makes the task more resilient to differences in how the X11 directories are laid out across different systems.

  • Be more consistent with preserving standard error from commands used to perform tasks so that errors are visible for logging and debugging purposes.

Changes in version 1.0

Released on 2017-05-03

  • Initial release of pkgtasks-1-1.0.
