pkgdb(1), portupgrade(1):
- Add a BUGS entry to each of the two man pages to note that a user
must run pkgdb -fu to rebuild a corrupt pkgdb.
pkgdb(3):
- Add a silly workaround against a possible bug of the dbm module to
keep a pkgdb from getting insane and rebuilt.
- [exp.] Add a knob environment variable PKG_DBDRIVER to specify an
alternative binary database format for pkgdb. The available options
are:
"bdb_btree":
DB 3.x/4.x B+tree; requires databases/ruby-bdb.
"bdb_hash" or just "bdb":
DB 3.x/4.x hash; requires databases/ruby-bdb.
"bdb1_btree" or just "btree":
DB 1.85 B+tree; requires databases/ruby-bdb1.
"bdb1_hash", or just "bdb1" or "hash":
DB 1.85 hash; requires databases/ruby-bdb1. This should be
equivalent to the default except some tuning parameters, but
it is quite possible that ruby-bdb1 is stabler than the
standard dbm module included in ruby.
default:
DB 1.85 hash; uses ruby's standard dbm module.
In principle, a B+tree database is faster to store data, a little
bit slower to extract data, and takes more space than a hash
database.
This is still an experimental/undocumented feature only for those
interested, although I don't believe it brings any unstability.
Note that you can always run pkgdb -fu to rebuild a database.

portupgrade(1):
- Fix a bug where portupgrade tried to use a package with a different
origin when the package name is identical to that of what it wants
except for the version part.
pkgdb(3):
- Abolish the [You have no permission to update the pkgdb -- using a
slow method] message. Instead, run 'pkgdb -u' via sudo(8) when
under portupgrade -s, or stop the process immediately with a
message that the user must run the command as root.

portupgrade:
Properly remove obsoleted dependencies in an upgrade. This reduces
pkgdb(1)'s turn.
portversion:
Inspect the origin port to get the latest version if a package's
origin is not found in the ports database.
Distinguish between `origin is not recorded' and `origin port is not
found'. Now the flag `#' represents the former and the flag `?'
represents the latter.
- Resurrect the flag `!', which means `port Makefile broken'.
- Yes, the meanings of `#' and `!' have been reversed. Because we
would hardly see ports missing origins any longer, I decided to
assign `!' to the one we see more often.
portsdb:
Call make_describe_pass[12] with the full paths. This fixes a

reached the one step higher level. It's *really* powerful. Enjoy! :)
portupgrade:
- Greatly improve the procedure of binary upgrading (-P/-PP):
When a fetched package is not of the latest version:
1) If -PP is given and the package is at least newer than the
current installation, put up with it and do an upgrade.
2) If -PP is given and the package is now newer than the current
installation, give up.
3) Else, fall back to the port.
This way you can now do binary upgrades just as you'd expect.
- Improve the new installation procedure as well.
- Allow using ports glob patterns in the configutation variables
MAKE_ARGS and HOLD_PORTS.
- If a port/package matches multiple entries of MAKE_ARGS, join all
the arguments using the space as separator.
pkg_fetch:
- Introduce a new {environment,configuration} variable PKG_SITES.
You can now specify multiple URI's to fetch packages from.
- When a URI is given, check for the last path component and if it is
not "Latest" or "All", fetch the dependent ports from the same
directory. (-R)
- Do not repeat same error messages.
- Properly reflect the environment variables defined in pkgtools.conf.
pkg_deinstall:
- Add a timestamp hack as well as portupgrade to let the pkgdb engine
properly detect an update of PKG_DBDIR.
pkgdb:
- When the user chooses to delete a dependency, comment the line out
instead of deleting it.
pkgtools.conf:
- Provide some useful predefined constants and functions.

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. ;)

- 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,
