I have released pkgutil 1.8. It adds quite some features and also introduces a few changes to make usage more consistent. Note that if you want to keep bldcat/chkcat after the upgrade of pkgutil you need to install pkgutilplus. For those of you who want to download just the files they are available from Sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pkgutil/files/ Change log: + Simple pkgutil logging script included in pkgutilplus using the new hook mechanism + Added pre/postargproc hooks (Ben Walton) + Support I-dependencies (remove incompatible packages) when using new 9-field catalog + Added pre/postfetch hooks (Ben Walton) + Install local package files, e.g. "pkgutil -i foo.pkg.gz" (Trygve Laugstol) + Fix transform (extract) feature (#3904@OpenCSW) + Transform renamed to extract to be more generic (Sebastian Kayser) + Extract and stream must now be used with download, e.g. "-d —stream" + Selecting target platform is now possible for —download and —extract, not just —stream (#3914@OpenCSW) (Sebastian Kayser) + Catalog update interval user configurable via pkgutil.conf. Set to -1 for no automatic updates, 0 for every time pkgutil is run and 1+ for the number of days between updates. 14 would emulate current behavior (Trygve Laugstol) + Add support for catalog names in —listfile (#3894@OpenCSW) (Sebastian Keyser) + Split package into core pkgutil and extension pkgutilplus (bldcat/chkcat, more to come) + Remove unused declaration causing noise when using -r (#3903@OpenCSW) + Fix missing options in man/perldoc page + Add support for non-CSW packages to bldcat (#2865123@SF) (David Everly) + Switch back to default 8 field catalogs for bldcat and chkcat + bldcat and chkcat doesn't require CSWperl, exit with helpful message if Digest::MD5 is missing (#3917@OpenCSW) More info on the wiki: http://pkgutil.wikidot.com/ I also recommend reading about the new hook mechanism, you can create your own simple scripts to log package actions or why not take a snapshot of /etc before upgrading/installing packages. The possibilities are endless. :-) http://wiki.opencsw.org/package-hooks -- /peter |
