ports+-1.90 Released2008年01月13日 15時38分04秒

ports+1.90.tar.gz is released. There are two major works.
  1. The archive is now in ports tarball format.
  2. All know bug fixes.

The files are now organized as ports tarball. You can either extract under ports-mgmt or local as ports+ not being an official package, yet. You can install ports+ by the following steps. This will overwrite existing ports+ if you happened to install ports+ manually. It won't be harmful.


# cd /usr/ports
# mkdir local
# cd local
# fetch http://www.ne.jp/asahi/export/uyota/src/ports+-1.90.tar.gz
# tar xfz ports+1.90.tar.gz
# cd ports+
# make install

All of known bugs are fixed with this release. Details are listed below. This is a major step to seek more testing for wider audiences.

Undesired environment variable leak from GNU make to BSD make.
This prevents BSD make error due to incompatible flags.
+IGNOREME handling.
Now, ports+ is compatible to portupgrade and portmaster on ignore list. It eliminate need of maintaining ignore list in ports+.conf.
Upgrade verification.
If backup is used to restore a package, it was still considered operation was successful as "pkg_add was successful." However, it isn't "upgrade was successful."
ports++install or ports++upgrade file as a marker in /var/db/pkg/*-*.
This is just for you to know ports+ did it. This feature will be removed once enough tests are done.
Verification of "clean" target.
Actually, "clean" target existed quite while. However, it was known to conflict with sysutil/clean. It installs the package, too, without my intension. I attempted to allow package directory names as target like seamonky for www/seamonky and wget for ftp/wget. It was implmeneted once and being tested for a while. It turneded out that it was simply impossible. Some of packages are under multiple categies like xpdf for print/xpdf, japanese/xpdf, chinese/xpdf. Actually, these ones are not impossible as their package names become xpdf, ja-xpdf, and zh-xpdf. There was another set of problems. devel/git and misc/git where both name becomes "git" as package name.Therefore, I had to give up on this idea and "sysutil/clean" no longer conflicts with the "clean" target.
Handling of -j/--jobs option via wrapper.
If --jobs option is specified, "dialog" which is called via "make config" hangs because it cannot attach to standard input. The wrapper shell script adds CONFIG_DONE=1 to call BSD make to avoid such situation. You can configure next time you build. Unfortunately, this is one of shortcoming of ports+.
