Hi all, I'm pleased to announce pkgutils-c, pkgutils rewritten in C, as purposed in http://crux.nu/Main/PkgutilsIdeas article. It is using libarchive, and it's drop-in replacement for the pkgutils except that you have to rejmerge /etc/pkgadd.conf, as its format changed (regexps must be placed in "" quotes and \ character must be escaped by \: like "\\d+"). pkgadd's -u option is meaningless now, but still accepted for the compatibility. There are still may be some amount of bugs, thus don't try it on the box you fear to bring down. And don't blame CRUX developers for the bugs/misbehaviours in pkgutils-c, blame me because it is my effort only. You can download it here: ftp://crux-arm.kmeaw.com/pub/crux-arm/depot/pkgutils-c-1.0.tar.bz2 git tree also available: git clone git://crux-arm.kmeaw.com/git/utils Ugly but tested Pkgfile under the crux/ directory. I'm using much cleaner version, because I have libarchive in my core ports collection. Good luck, -- Anton (irc: bd2)
