Thanks so much! portupgrade: - D'oh! Fix a stupid bug where portupgrade didn't modify dependencies when upgrading a package while portupgrade _is_ meant to do that. ;) But you don't need to worry: `pkgdb -F' can always handle that situation. This bug had been there since 2 October, and was finally exposed by the newly introduced dependency sanity checks. I guess you has been annoyed by the warnings, but they are gone now. ;) Reported by: Ollivier Robert - Make portupgrade download packages from a remote site if -P is specified. Now one can do binary upgrading in a handy way: portupgrade -P foo bar Instead of: portupgrade -FP foo bar && portupgrade -P foo bar Although the latter is friendlier to dialup users. - Add a delay between deinstallation and installation to let pkgdb properly detect the update of PKG_DBDIR entries. - Since pkg_add(1) is mute, always show a progress message when invoking it no matter whether -v is given or not. - Make -f override "hold" marks set in pkgtools.conf. pkgdb: - Since the dbm routines in libc seem to dead lock in some cases, slightly change the DB format and bump the DB version accordingly. Reported by: Ollivier Robert and others - Make sure to check DB version when checking for a DB. (-u) pkg_fetch, pkgdb, portsclean, portsdb: - Make them read the configuration file and add the -q/--no-config option just as other tools. pkgtools.conf: - Add examples for PKG_FETCH, PACKAGEROOT and PACKAGESITE. - Introduce new configuration variables: IGNORE_CATEGORIES and EXTRA_CATEGORIES. - Now one can set common environment variables in this file. - Now all the tools read this file by default. overall: - Reword and enhance the manual pages and the usage instructions. - Clarify the explanation about port/package dependency.
