Hi all,
apologize for bringing up this so late, I simply forgot it, but Johannes' blackbox email reminds me ;-) Great, just draw away all the attention ;-)
* I'd suggest to replace core/slocate by mlocate for CRUX 2.5 mlocate sounds interesting, although I can't test it at this point in time. +1 to the switch though, based on what I can find online.
Unfortunately the switch is not fully painless, because mlocate needs a new system-group 'mlocate' and cannot co-exist with slocate because of conflicting file names. Mmmh, as long as people run rejmerge this should be painless, right? 'setup-helper' can replace slocate with mlocate.
Maybe we should check for files in /var/lib/pkg/rejected in the very end of 'setup', and print out an exit message, stating "Remember to run rejmerge to finish the update procedure - Enjoy your new CRUX $VERSION".
PS: if you are using the current version of pkgmk you have to download the source-file by hand, because of a failed certificate check, pkgmk in git already has a fix for that [4]. A new pkgutils release for 2.5 would be nice. +1
Given that all these changes are rather isolated and thus shouldn't break anything that's already tested, could we maybe build a test3, and ask maintainers to immediately move to this one to get the ports ready? This should allow for a mid november release of 2.5 Cheers, Johannes -- Johannes Winkelmann jw@smts.ch
