[Pkgutil-users] pkgutil 1.10 released

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

I have just released pkgutil 1.10. A much requested new feature is to
be able to override any setting in pkgutil.conf, you can now do that
with -p/--param. For example, if you sometimes use testing catalogs
that are not gpg signed you can temporarily disable those checks
without having to edit pkgutil.conf. Another new thing is the
cswcatalog script that uses bldcat to create the mirror structure
pkgutil uses so it's even simpler for you to run your own custom
mirrors.

Other than that I have tried to improve documentation, output and
error handling. Full release history here:

+ Add -p/--param option to override configuration options from
pkgutil.conf (4045@OpenCSW)
+ Add pkgutil.conf option to not cache fetching of catalogs
+ Health check for gzip and wget binaries
+ Added signal handling
+ Making some output more consistent and copy/paste friendly
+ Display the full target path when using --extract (4154@OpenCSW)
+ Nicer exits should not leave stale lock files (3994@OpenCSW)
+ Fix bug with -V and --config combo (4116@OpenCSW)
+ Fix that option -N/--nodeps didn't work with -u/--update (4172@OpenCSW)
+ Fix uninitialized value bug (4296@OpenCSW)
+ Fix gpg bug with international LANG setting (4289@OpenCSW)
+ Add comment about -S to not show license during install (pkgadd option)
+ Fix release dates for v1.9.1 in readme and add link to Maciej's
script in readme for pkgutilplus
+ Merge modified part of patch from Blastwave fork (check exit status
from pkgadd)
+ Change missing dependencies from warning to error in chkcat
+ Add -W/--workdir option to bldcat to set workdir (Maciej Blizinski)
+ Mirror script added (to pkgutilplus) to create mirror structure,
uses bldcat (Dagobert Michelsen)

There's packages ready at OpenCSW for you to use directly (just
upgrade with "pkgutil -u pkgutil") or you can get the files directly
from Sourceforge.
