# # $Id: ChangeLog,v 1.28 2006/07/25 05:04:07 pguyot Exp $ # # This is a log of major user-visible changes in each release # Release 1.3 (unreleased): - Fixed a bug where only the first word of configuration settings (in ports.conf) was processed. This bug affected the use of extra_env. (Bugzilla #9948) (pguyot) - Fixed a bug where environment variables governing proxy were not capitalized properly. (blb & jberry) - Fixed a bug where port outdated and port ugprade didn't work in direct mode. (Bugzilla 7719, 7721) (dluke & jberry) - Fixed several problems with iteration on ports. (jberry) - Fixed a bug where curl LDFLAGS weren't properly propagated. (landonf) - Fixed a bug where location update routine invoked when installing DP did not take the DESTDIR variable into account. (jmpp) - Fixed a bug where patchfiles specifications could not have suffixes to indicate the master site. (pguyot) - Fixed spelling in port(1) man page. (Bugzilla 8103) (pjenvey & jberry) - Fixed a typo and another problem in messages generated by port command. (Bugzilla 6706 & 6712) (deric & jmpp) - Fixed a typo in ports.conf. (matt & jmpp) - Fixed several problems with launchd support (Bugzilla 8372 & 10041) (jberry) - Fixed a bug preventing the use of libmd for checksums and added an informative compilation error if libcrypto and libmd cannot be found. (landonf) - Fixed a bug where thread2.6 Tcl library wasn't installed where DP is installed. (jmpp) - Fixed a bugs in xcode PortGroup which prevented the use of a custom project path. (pguyot) - Fixed a bugs in xcode PortGroup which made destroot to fail when there were spaces in the install path. (pguyot) - Added more information to porthier(7) about ${prefix}/var/db/dports. (olegb) - Updated Gnome, KDE and SourceForge mirror lists. (Bugzilla 8045, 9152) (rwhood, blb, olegb & pguyot) - Check earlier if there is no Portfile in a directory (especially when iterating). (jberry) - Split livecheck into distcheck and livecheck. Added regex checking options and set the default to check against freshmeat. (pguyot) - Discover path to rsync at autoconf time. (jberry) - Mark CVS, TAR, GNUTAR, and RSYNC as additional precious variables that can be overridden in configure environment at time of configure to customize the location of these tools. Note that these tools are not found in the dp prefix, as PATH is sanitized of references to prefix. But you could override the precious variables to acheive that if you really want to shoot yourself. (jberry) - Set timeouts for curl transfers. Some connections to sketchy mirror sites can hang forever otherwise. (jkh) - Shortened the time to upgrade with archive mode on by using archive as the target. (Bugzilla #7891) (dluke & jberry) - Added support for sqlite 3. (jberry) - Major update of the trace (-t) option (pguyot): * backported changes from darwinbuild's version of darwintrace, including several bug fixes. * cleaned up the code. * writing/creating and also unlinking a file outside allowed bounds are now blocked instead of being simply reported (previous version only reported creations). * fixed a bug where -t failed with X11 ports because ${prefix} got overwritten. - Added new native commands to handle privileges chores. (jberry) - The interactive mode now uses readline. (jberry) - Initial version of portmirror binary to build a mirror of distfiles. (pguyot) - Improvements and fixes to the tests. (pguyot) - Added a new option (checksum.skip=yes) to bypass the checksum phase. This option is mostly useful on the command line to test older distfiles. (jberry) - Added dependencies for rpm on virtual packages representing releases of MacOS X. (mww) Release 1.2.1 (10-Apr-2006): - Changes to darwinports build infrastructure to allow for build of the darwinports infrastructure as a multiarchitecture binary. This allows darwinports to be built as fat, but does nothing to allow ports themselves to be built as fat. To build darwinports fat, configure as follows: ./configure CFLAGS='-arch ppc -arch i386' SHLIB_LDFLAGS='-arch ppc -arch i386' backported from HEAD (jberry) - Add a hack in order attempt to detect when a sourceforge mirror is actually returning an error page. If this is detected, proceed to the next mirror. backported from HEAD (jberry) Release 1.2 (14-Dec-2005): - Syntax change to disambiguate uses of the port's version on the command line, when coupled with new changes to accept multiple ports. The port version must now always be prefixed with an @. Example: port uninstall vim @1.0 This probably only affects uninstall and activate, both of which require a version if there are multiple versions installed. - gzip-compress manpages that are in the share/man/cat? directories during destroot, too. (mww) - Enhance port command such that targets that require a port to be specified will now all default to a port in current directory. (jberry) - Enhance port command to allow multiple ports per invocation. Where previously one said "port install porta; port install portb", one can now say "port install porta portb". (jberry) - Enhance port command to allow use of shell-like glob patterns for port selection. When a glob pattern is found, the group of ports matching the glob pattern is substituted. (jberry) - Enhance port command to allow use of "pseudo" portnames to specify groups of ports. When one of these pseudo portnames is specified on the command line, the corresponding group of ports is substituted. Currently defined pseudo portnames are: current, all, installed, uninstalled, active, inactive, outdated. Additional pseudo portnames can be used to select ports based on a regex pattern match against certain criteria. Each port selector is a name, followed by a colon, followed by the desired regex pattern. The selectors are: variants:, variant:, description:, portdir:, homepage:, epoch:, platforms:, platform:, name:, long_description:, maintainers:, maintainer:, categories:, category:, version:, and revision: (jberry) - Enhance port command to allow use of set expressions to combine ports or groups of ports. Supported operators are "and", "or", "not", "!", "(", ")". (jberry) - Enhance port command to allow a port to be specified through a file: url instead of via portname. This function was previously available though the -D and -u options, which make less sense now that multiple ports can be specified to a target. (jberry) - Under Tiger, startupitems are now by default generated for launchd rather than systemstarter. (jberry) - Add new startupitem keys startupitem.executable, startupitem.logfile, startupitem.logevents, startupitem.pidfile, supported for both systemstarter and launchd. (jberry) - New Test framework. Running make test from base/tests/ will test several features of port(1) including syntax of Portfiles. New tests can easily be added by simply creating new directories in base/tests/ with a Portfile and a master file containing the output of port test in this directory. Some tests are actually more complex. These tests require the port binary to be installed in ${prefix}. (pguyot) - svn fetching support, parallel to cvs fetching. Note that this is a bit skanky as svn is not installed on the platform by default. This code will error-out if svn is not installed. (jberry) - Removal of old "fetch.args" parameter now that all Portfiles have been properly moved to leverage Paul's libcurl work (yeled) - DP now sets its own env variables instead of filtering user declared ones considered harmful (blb) - "Canonicalization" of expanded path:${prefix}/foo:bar dependencies when including them in the PortIndex for better abstraction (jberry/pguyot) - Addition of the IndexRegen.sh script that takes care of the automated index thingie... (pguyot and jmpp) - Miscellaneous cleanups: - DP base is assured to respect a temporary DESTDIR installation and other Makefile cleanups (toby, jmpp) - s/--with-tclpackagedir/--with-tclpackage/g in autoconf error reports (pguyot) - fixes for the buildall.sh script (jkh) - Some other fixes for lurking bugs, untapped by the various developments that have taken place since 1.1 ("bunch of developers ;-); - Snazzy new ChangeLog file - Add new actions for port(1): help (get help about port), echo (the expanded arguments), cat (the contents of the Portfiles from the specified ports), edit (also alias "ed", the contents of the Portfiles, using EDITOR or VISUAL), dir (emit path to the port's directory), file (emit path to the port's Portfile) (jberry) - On make install, upgrade ports.conf and sources.conf to change rsync.opendarwin.org to rsync.darwinports.org. This is now our preferred rsync hostname. Likewise, rename the rsync destination directories in ${prefix}/var/db/dports/sources in a similar fashion (jberry) Release 1.1: (information not here). Release 1.0: (information not here).
