[Pkgutil-users] Version 1.6 released

[Peter B. <bon...@op...>]

The new version 1.6 of pkgutil is spreading across the mirrors right now.

One new feature is -C which finally rids you of having to filter out
all lines with "SAME" when doing compares. There's also an easy way of
tracing all scripts during pkgadd/pkgrm operations, this is good when
you have local problems and the package maintainer wants debugging
info, now you don't have to download and install the package manually
any more. You can also use a custom configuration file instead of the
normal ones, this can be useful if you sometimes use different
settings, like another mirror for jumpstart for example, just save
your settings in a file and call that file with --config=file. Bldcat
and chkcat are also improved.

Change log:

  - Fix -T bug (#3689)
  - Fix -W bug (#3688)
  - New option -C, same as -c but only shows different versions, no
more piping to grep -v SAME (Ben Walton)
  - New option --trace to debug pkgadd/pkgrm operations (#3683) (Yann Rouillard)
  - Replaced some system commands with native Perl
  - New option --config for using custom configuration file (Don Jackson)
  - Fix size formatting
  - Skip showing pkgadd patch when using -V on 5.11 (Dennis Clarke)
  - Update credits in perldoc/man page
  - Perldoc/man page added to both bldcat and chkcat
  - Chkcat now includes more tests (Derek Whayman)
  - Chkcat exit values are 0 for OK, 1 for warning and 2 for error
  - New option -e (erroronly) added to chkcat to supress warnings
  - New option -q (quiet) added to chkcat to supress all output

I also want to say that I had a big feature contributed for this
release but I had to postpone that to get other, smaller, features out
in time instead.
