This avoids footprint problems - when using e.g. XFS. - -4.4 - Released 2002-06-30 - - Added option -cf, --config-file to pkgmk. - - Minor bugfixes. - -4.3 - Released 2002-06-11 - - Removed Pkgfile.local-feature which was added in 4.2. It - didn't work very well in some (common) situations. - - Corrected spelling errors in pkgmk. - -4.2 - Released 2002-05-17 - - Added support for Pkgfile.local, which enables users to - tweak packages by overriding parts of the original - Pkgfile. This is useful when pkgmk is used in CRUX's - ports system, where users will loose changes made to the - original Pkgfile the next time they update their ports - structure. - - Minor cleanups. - -4.1 - Released 2002-04-08 - - Added support for preventing selected files (typically - configuration files) from being overwritten when upgrading - a package. The file /etc/pkgadd.conf, contains a list of - rules with regular expressions specifying these files. These - rules will be consulted when executing pkgadd with the - option -u. Files that, according to the rules, shouldn't be - upgraded will instead be installed under - /var/lib/pkg/rejected/. The user can then examine, use and - remove these files manually if so desired. - - Added md5sum checking (.md5sum contains the MD5 checksum of - all source files). pkgmk uses this file to verify that - the (potentially downloaded) source files are correct. - - Upgraded bundled libtar from 1.2.4 to 1.2.5. - -4.0.1 - Released 2002-01-20 - - Removed warning "unable to remove XXX: Directory not empty" - when upgrading a package. - -4.0 - Released 2002-01-14 - - Packages are now identified by their names only (and - not by name and version as before). This makes it easier - for users to upgrade and remove packages. This, of course, - comes with a price. You can not install two packages with - the same name. - - The naming convention for packages is now: - name#version-release.pkg.tar.gz - The character '#' is not allowed in package names, since - it's used as the name/version delimiter. - - New database layout, which gives a more robust database - with a transaction-like behaviour. This implementation - will gurantee that the database will never be corrupted - even if the power fails when pkgadd/pkgrm is running. It - does however not guarantee that the database contents is - in sync with the filesystem if such a crash should occur. - This means that the database will _never_ loose track of - files that are installed, but it can (in case of a crash) - contain files that are actually not installed. Repeating - the pkgadd/pkgrm command that was running when the crash - occured will get the database in sync with the filesystem - again. - - pkgmk is now capable of downloading missing source files - (using wget) before building a package (option -d), given - that the URL is specified in the "source" variable. - - pkg.build was renamed to Pkgfile (to mimic make/Makefile). - - pkg.contents was renamed to .footprint. - - pkgmk is now capable of installing/upgrading a package if - the build was successful (option -i and -u). - - Lot's of minor fixes and cleanups. - -0.1 - 3.2.0 - Released 2000-05-10 - 2001-10-03 - (No change log was maintained during this time) Copied: tools/pkgutils/trunk/NEWS (from rev 1242, tools/pkgutils/trunk/ChangeLog) =================================================================== --- tools/pkgutils/trunk/NEWS (rev 0) +++ tools/pkgutils/trunk/NEWS 2006-04-14 09:23:44 UTC (rev 1254) @@ -0,0 +1,227 @@ +5.20 - Released 2005-05-04 + - pkgadd/rejmerge will now consider user, group and access + permissions on rejected files. + +5.19 - Released 2005-03-29 + - pkgadd: improved support for automatically removing + rejected files that are identical to already installed files. + - pkgmk: added support for resuming interrupted downloads. + Thanks to Johannes Winkelmann <jw@tks6.net> + - pkgmk: added option -cm/--check-md5sum, which checks the + md5sum but does not build the package. + - libtar: fixed bug in symlink handling. + Thanks to Guillaume Bibaut <guillaume.bibaut@free.fr> + +5.18 - Released 2004-05-16 + - rejmerge: files created when merging will now get the same + access permissions as the installed version. + Thanks to Han Boetes <han@mijncomputer.nl> + - rejmerge: file diffs/merges are now piped through more(1). + - pkgadd/pkgrm: fixed a bug that could result in a corrupt + database when running low on disk space. + - pkgadd: directories can now be specified in rules in + pkgadd.conf.
