Hi, On behalf of pkgng crew, I'm happy to announce pkg 1.0-beta9 - changes: * query -f has been replaced by query -F when querying a package (file) for consistency with pkg info * fix autoremove recursion * pkg set -o oldorigin:neworigin allow the user to modify the origin of a packages (useful for MOVED) * several fixes on powerpc * pkg query evaluation expression now accept != * pkg2ng is now able to migrate a local database without needed the ports tree * speed up pkg check by only loading the informations needed for the operation it will do * code cleanup in the library * fix uname/gname lookup when creating packages * new periodic script for pkg audit * new keyword shlib, pkgng is able to load information about the needed shlibs for a package (disable by default) * pkg info act as pkg info -a by default * new install timestamp in the package database, available using pkg query "%t" * pkg updating can now take a port name as argument to only show related UPDATING informations) * -q (quiet) for install, delete, upgrade, update and autoremove * new ABI detection string
Concerning the new ABI, to be able to determine which package can be installed on which destination, pkgng couldn't rely on the simple: os version/machine, because some arches have incompatible ABIs. Can compute on its own the ABI, the string is the followin: OSNAME:OSMAJORVERSION:OSARCH:OSCLASS(:...) .. means the arch specific extensions. which means on: * amd64: freebsd:9:x86:64 * i386: freebsd:9:x86 * arm: freebsd:9:arm:eb:oabi:softvp etc Be careful all the packages (.txz) files have to be rebuilt!!! When binary upgradeing from pkg beta8, on amd64 do the following: UNAME_m=freebsd:9:x86:64 pkg install -f pkg on i386 UNAME_m=freebsd:9:x86:32 pkg install -f pkg Bonus when run on a chroot/jail where ABI is different from the host, pkgng will dynamically determine the destination ABI. Please note that normally this will be the last beta version, regards, Bapt
