    12 
    13         - Fixed a bug where environment variables governing proxy were not
    14           capitalized properly. (blb & jberry)
    15 
    16         - Fixed a bug where port outdated and port ugprade didn't work in direct
    17           mode. (Bugzilla 7719, 7721) (dluke & jberry)

    38 
    39         - Fixed a bug preventing the use of libmd for checksums and added an
    40           informative compilation error if libcrypto and libmd cannot be found.
    41           (landonf)
    42        
    43         - Fixed a bug where thread2.6 Tcl library wasn't installed where DP is
    44           installed. (jmpp)
    45 
    46         - Fixed a bugs in xcode PortGroup which prevented the use of a custom
    47           project path. (pguyot)
    48        
    49         - Fixed a bugs in xcode PortGroup which made destroot to fail when there
    50           were spaces in the install path. (pguyot)
    51        
    52         - Added more information to porthier(7) about ${prefix}/var/db/dports.
    53           (olegb)
    54        
    55         - Updated Gnome, KDE and SourceForge mirror lists. (Bugzilla 8045, 9152)
    56           (rwhood, blb, olegb & pguyot)
    57 
    58         - Check earlier if there is no Portfile in a directory (especially when
    59           iterating). (jberry)
    60

    62           and set the default to check against freshmeat. (pguyot)
    63 
    64         - Discover path to rsync at autoconf time. (jberry)
    65        
    66         - Mark CVS, TAR, GNUTAR, and RSYNC as additional precious variables that can
    67           be overridden in configure environment at time of configure to customize
    68           the location of these tools. Note that these tools are not found in the dp
    69           prefix, as PATH is sanitized of references to prefix. But you could
    70           override the precious variables to acheive that if you really want to
    71           shoot yourself. (jberry)
    72 
    73         - Set timeouts for curl transfers.  Some connections to sketchy mirror sites
    74           can hang forever otherwise. (jkh)
    75        
    76         - Shortened the time to upgrade with archive mode on by using archive as the
    77           target. (Bugzilla #7891) (dluke & jberry)
    78 
    79         - Added support for sqlite 3. (jberry)
    80 
    81         - Major update of the trace (-t) option (pguyot):
    82           * backported changes from darwinbuild's version of darwintrace, including
    83             several bug fixes.
    84           * cleaned up the code.
    85           * writing/creating and also unlinking a file outside allowed bounds are
    86             now blocked instead of being simply reported (previous version only
    87             reported creations).
    88           * fixed a bug where -t failed with X11 ports because ${prefix} got
    89             overwritten.
    90 
    91         - Added new native commands to handle privileges chores. (jberry)
    92        
    93         - The interactive mode now uses readline. (jberry)
    94        
    95         - Initial version of portmirror binary to build a mirror of distfiles.
    96           (pguyot)
    97 
    98         - Improvements and fixes to the tests. (pguyot)
    99        
    100         - Added a new option (checksum.skip=yes) to bypass the checksum phase. This
    101           option is mostly useful on the command line to test older distfiles.
    102           (jberry)
    103 
    104         - Added dependencies for rpm on virtual packages representing releases of
    105           MacOS X. (mww)
     9    - Fixed a bug where only the first word of configuration settings (in
     10      ports.conf) was processed. This bug affected the use of extra_env.
     11      (Bugzilla #9948) (pguyot)
     12
     13    - Fixed a bug where environment variables governing proxy were not
     14      capitalized properly. (blb & jberry)
     15
     16    - Fixed a bug where port outdated and port ugprade didn't work in direct
     17      mode. (Bugzilla 7719, 7721) (dluke & jberry)

     35   
     36    - Fixed several problems with launchd support (Bugzilla 8372 & 10041)

     40      informative compilation error if libcrypto and libmd cannot be found.
     41      (landonf)
     42   
     43    - Fixed a bug where thread2.6 Tcl library wasn't installed where DP is
     44      installed. (jmpp)
     45
     46    - Fixed a bugs in xcode PortGroup which prevented the use of a custom
     47      project path. (pguyot)

     53      (olegb)
     54   
     55    - Updated Gnome, KDE and SourceForge mirror lists. (Bugzilla 8045, 9152)
     56      (rwhood, blb, olegb & pguyot)
     57
     58    - Check earlier if there is no Portfile in a directory (especially when
     59      iterating). (jberry)
     60
     61    - Split livecheck into distcheck and livecheck. Added regex checking options
     62      and set the default to check against freshmeat. (pguyot)
     63
     64    - Discover path to rsync at autoconf time. (jberry)
     65   
     66    - Mark CVS, TAR, GNUTAR, and RSYNC as additional precious variables that can
     67      be overridden in configure environment at time of configure to customize
     68      the location of these tools. Note that these tools are not found in the dp
     69      prefix, as PATH is sanitized of references to prefix. But you could

     74      can hang forever otherwise. (jkh)

     76    - Shortened the time to upgrade with archive mode on by using archive as the
     77      target. (Bugzilla #7891) (dluke & jberry)
     78
     79    - Added support for sqlite 3. (jberry)
     80
     81    - Major update of the trace (-t) option (pguyot):
     82      * backported changes from darwinbuild's version of darwintrace, including
     83        several bug fixes.
     84      * cleaned up the code.
     85      * writing/creating and also unlinking a file outside allowed bounds are
     86        now blocked instead of being simply reported (previous version only
     87        reported creations).
     88      * fixed a bug where -t failed with X11 ports because ${prefix} got
     89        overwritten.
     90
     91    - Added new native commands to handle privileges chores. (jberry)
     92   
     93    - Add batch/interactive mode. In interactive mode, use readline when it's available.
     94      Command and portname completion is available in interactive mode, as is readline
     95      history. (jberry) 2005-11-07,08
     96   
     97        * Add new option -F <filename> which specifies a command file to be
     98          read and processed. Multiple such options may be given to provide
     99          multiple command files. If filename is "-", then stdin is read.
     100     
     101        * Option -i is equivilant to -F -, which forces processing of standard
     102          input following any commands given as arguments.
     103         
     104        * If port is invoked as portf, an -F is assumed as an implicit first
     105          argument (so the real first argument is taken as a command file to
     106          be processed). This should allow the use of a shebang line such as:
     107            #!/usr/bin/env portf
     108           
     109        * Commands starting with # are treated as comments.
     110       
     111        * Install a symbolic link /opt/local/bin/portf --> /opt/local/bin/port.
     112       
     113        * New command "cd" is useful to change to a new directory/port while in
     114          interactive/batch mode.
     115         
     116        * Multiple commands on a single line may be separated by a ';'
     117       
     118        * Global command options may now be specified following a particular
     119          command; they will apply only to that command rather than to all
     120          command invocations. This is important for batch/interactive mode.
     121       
     122    - Add new option -p, which ignores errors while processing within a command.
     123      (this subsumes some of the work that -f was previously overloaded to do).
     124      (jberry).
     125   
     126    - Add new option -x, which exits immediately on errors while in batch mode (
     127      otherwise we don't exit on errors in batch mode). (jberry)
     128   
     129    - Refactoring of port(1) to cast actions into distinct action procs. Adds
     130      the new action_array which is used for action dispatch, and also to generate
     131      the list of possible commands for help and command completion. (jberry)
     132   
     133    - Initial version of portmirror binary to build a mirror of distfiles.
     134      (pguyot)
     135
     136    - Improvements and fixes to the tests. (pguyot)
     137   
     138    - Added a new option (checksum.skip=yes) to bypass the checksum phase. This
     139      option is mostly useful on the command line to test older distfiles.
     140      (jberry)
     141
     142    - Added dependencies for rpm on virtual packages representing releases of
     143      MacOS X. (mww)
     144     
     145    - Add to port the ability to query for specific meta-data fields.
     146      For instance: port info --maintainer --name category:java
     147      When specific fields are given, the legacy generalized info is not presented, and vis-versa.
     148      By default, the fields for each port are listed one-per-line, with a field label
     149      in front of each. (The field label is omitted if the global -q option is given).
     150      If the --line option is given, the fields are presented on one line, tab separated,
     151      and with no field label: port info --name --maintainer --line tomcat5 apache2
     152      Field names are those from the PortIndex, plus some convenience versions of
     153      those: (such as allowing category instead of categories).
     154      Fields which are actually lists (such as depends_lib) are displayed comma-separated.

    106157
    107158Release 1.2.1 (10-Apr-2006):
    108159
    109         - Changes to darwinports build infrastructure to allow for build of
    110           the darwinports infrastructure as a multiarchitecture binary.
    111           This allows darwinports to be built as fat, but does nothing to
    112           allow ports themselves to be built as fat. To build darwinports
    113           fat, configure as follows:
    114                 ./configure CFLAGS='-arch ppc -arch i386' SHLIB_LDFLAGS='-arch ppc -arch i386'
    115                                                                                 backported from HEAD (jberry)
    116                                                                                
    117         - Add a hack in order attempt to detect when a sourceforge mirror
    118           is actually returning an error page. If this is detected, proceed
    119           to the next mirror.                           backported from HEAD (jberry)
     160    - Changes to darwinports build infrastructure to allow for build of
     161      the darwinports infrastructure as a multiarchitecture binary.
     162      This allows darwinports to be built as fat, but does nothing to
     163      allow ports themselves to be built as fat. To build darwinports
     164      fat, configure as follows:
     165        ./configure CFLAGS='-arch ppc -arch i386' SHLIB_LDFLAGS='-arch ppc -arch i386'
     166                                        backported from HEAD (jberry)
     167                                       
     168    - Add a hack in order attempt to detect when a sourceforge mirror
     169      is actually returning an error page. If this is detected, proceed
     170      to the next mirror.               backported from HEAD (jberry)
    120171
    121172Release 1.2 (14-Dec-2005):
    122173
    123         - Syntax change to disambiguate uses of the port's version on the command
    124           line, when coupled with new changes to accept multiple ports.
    125           The port version must now always be prefixed with an @. Example:
    126                 port uninstall vim @1.0
    127           This probably only affects uninstall and activate, both of which
    128           require a version if there are multiple versions installed.
    129 
    130         - gzip-compress manpages that are in the share/man/cat? directories during
    131           destroot, too. (mww)
    132 
    133         - Enhance port command such that targets that require a port to be
    134           specified will now all default to a port in current directory. (jberry)
    135          
    136         - Enhance port command to allow multiple ports per invocation.
    137           Where previously one said "port install porta; port install portb",
    138           one can now say "port install porta portb". (jberry)
    139          
    140         - Enhance port command to allow use of shell-like glob patterns for
    141           port selection. When a glob pattern is found, the group of ports
    142           matching the glob pattern is substituted. (jberry)
    143          
    144         - Enhance port command to allow use of "pseudo" portnames to specify
    145           groups of ports.
    146           When one of these pseudo portnames is specified on the command line,
    147           the corresponding group of ports is substituted.
    148 
    149           Currently defined pseudo portnames are:
    150                 current, all, installed, uninstalled, active, inactive, outdated.
    151          
    152           Additional pseudo portnames can be used to select ports based on a
    153           regex pattern match against certain criteria. Each port selector is
    154           a name, followed by a colon, followed by the desired regex pattern.
    155           The selectors are:
    156           variants:, variant:, description:, portdir:, homepage:, epoch:,
    157           platforms:, platform:, name:, long_description:, maintainers:, maintainer:,
    158           categories:, category:, version:, and revision: (jberry)
    159          
    160         - Enhance port command to allow use of set expressions to combine
    161           ports or groups of ports.
    162           Supported operators are "and", "or", "not", "!", "(", ")". (jberry)
    163          
    164         - Enhance port command to allow a port to be specified through a file:
    165           url instead of via portname. This function was previously available
    166           though the -D and -u options, which make less sense now that multiple
    167           ports can be specified to a target. (jberry)
    168          
    169         - Under Tiger, startupitems are now by default generated for launchd
    170           rather than systemstarter. (jberry)
    171          
    172         - Add new startupitem keys startupitem.executable, startupitem.logfile,
    173           startupitem.logevents, startupitem.pidfile, supported for both
    174           systemstarter and launchd. (jberry)
    175          
    176         - New Test framework. Running make test from base/tests/ will test
    177           several features of port(1) including syntax of Portfiles. New tests
    178           can easily be added by simply creating new directories in base/tests/
    179           with a Portfile and a master file containing the output of port test
    180           in this directory. Some tests are actually more complex. These tests
    181           require the port binary to be installed in ${prefix}. (pguyot)
    182 
    183         - svn fetching support, parallel to cvs fetching. Note that
    184           this is a bit skanky as svn is not installed on the platform by default.
    185           This code will error-out if svn is not installed. (jberry)
    186 
    187         - Removal of old "fetch.args" parameter now that all Portfiles have been
    188           properly moved to leverage Paul's libcurl work (yeled)
    189 
    190         - DP now sets its own env variables instead of filtering user declared
    191           ones considered harmful (blb)
    192 
    193         - "Canonicalization" of expanded path:${prefix}/foo:bar dependencies
    194           when including them in the PortIndex for better abstraction (jberry/pguyot)
    195 
    196         - Addition of the IndexRegen.sh script that takes care of the automated
    197           index thingie... (pguyot and jmpp)
    198 
    199         - Miscellaneous cleanups:
    200                 - DP base is assured to respect a temporary DESTDIR installation and
    201                   other Makefile cleanups (toby, jmpp)
    202                 - s/--with-tclpackagedir/--with-tclpackage/g in autoconf error
    203                   reports (pguyot)
    204                 - fixes for the buildall.sh script (jkh)
    205 
    206         - Some other fixes for lurking bugs, untapped by the various developments
    207           that have taken place since 1.1 ("bunch of developers ;-);
    208 
    209         - Snazzy new ChangeLog file
    210        
    211         - Add new actions for port(1): help (get help about port),
    212           echo (the expanded arguments),
    213           cat (the contents of the Portfiles from the specified ports),
    214           edit (also alias "ed", the contents of the Portfiles, using EDITOR or VISUAL),
    215           dir (emit path to the port's directory),
    216           file (emit path to the port's Portfile)
    217           (jberry)
    218          
    219         - On make install, upgrade ports.conf and sources.conf to change rsync.opendarwin.org
    220           to rsync.darwinports.org. This is now our preferred rsync hostname.
    221           Likewise, rename the rsync destination directories in ${prefix}/var/db/dports/sources
    222           in a similar fashion (jberry)
     174    - Syntax change to disambiguate uses of the port's version on the command
     175      line, when coupled with new changes to accept multiple ports.
     176      The port version must now always be prefixed with an @. Example:
     177        port uninstall vim @1.0
     178      This probably only affects uninstall and activate, both of which
     179      require a version if there are multiple versions installed.
     180
     181    - gzip-compress manpages that are in the share/man/cat? directories during
     182      destroot, too. (mww)
     183
     184    - Enhance port command such that targets that require a port to be
     185      specified will now all default to a port in current directory. (jberry)
     186     
     187    - Enhance port command to allow multiple ports per invocation.
     188      Where previously one said "port install porta; port install portb",
     189      one can now say "port install porta portb". (jberry)
     190     
     191    - Enhance port command to allow use of shell-like glob patterns for
     192      port selection. When a glob pattern is found, the group of ports
     193      matching the glob pattern is substituted. (jberry)
     194     
     195    - Enhance port command to allow use of "pseudo" portnames to specify
     196      groups of ports.
     197      When one of these pseudo portnames is specified on the command line,
     198      the corresponding group of ports is substituted.
     199
     200      Currently defined pseudo portnames are:
     201        current, all, installed, uninstalled, active, inactive, outdated.
     202     
     203      Additional pseudo portnames can be used to select ports based on a
     204      regex pattern match against certain criteria. Each port selector is
     205      a name, followed by a colon, followed by the desired regex pattern.
     206      The selectors are:
     207      variants:, variant:, description:, portdir:, homepage:, epoch:,
     208      platforms:, platform:, name:, long_description:, maintainers:, maintainer:,
     209      categories:, category:, version:, and revision: (jberry)
     210     
     211    - Enhance port command to allow use of set expressions to combine
     212      ports or groups of ports.
     213      Supported operators are "and", "or", "not", "!", "(", ")". (jberry)
     214     
     215    - Enhance port command to allow a port to be specified through a file:
     216      url instead of via portname. This function was previously available
     217      though the -D and -u options, which make less sense now that multiple
     218      ports can be specified to a target. (jberry)
     219     
     220    - Under Tiger, startupitems are now by default generated for launchd
     221      rather than systemstarter. (jberry)
     222     
     223    - Add new startupitem keys startupitem.executable, startupitem.logfile,
     224      startupitem.logevents, startupitem.pidfile, supported for both
     225      systemstarter and launchd. (jberry)
     226     
     227    - New Test framework. Running make test from base/tests/ will test
     228      several features of port(1) including syntax of Portfiles. New tests
     229      can easily be added by simply creating new directories in base/tests/
     230      with a Portfile and a master file containing the output of port test
     231      in this directory. Some tests are actually more complex. These tests
     232      require the port binary to be installed in ${prefix}. (pguyot)
     233
     234    - svn fetching support, parallel to cvs fetching. Note that
     235      this is a bit skanky as svn is not installed on the platform by default.
     236      This code will error-out if svn is not installed. (jberry)
     237
     238    - Removal of old "fetch.args" parameter now that all Portfiles have been
     239      properly moved to leverage Paul's libcurl work (yeled)
     240
     241    - DP now sets its own env variables instead of filtering user declared
     242      ones considered harmful (blb)
     243
     244    - "Canonicalization" of expanded path:${prefix}/foo:bar dependencies
     245      when including them in the PortIndex for better abstraction (jberry/pguyot)
     246
     247    - Addition of the IndexRegen.sh script that takes care of the automated
     248      index thingie... (pguyot and jmpp)
     249
     250    - Miscellaneous cleanups:
     251        - DP base is assured to respect a temporary DESTDIR installation and
     252          other Makefile cleanups (toby, jmpp)
     253        - s/--with-tclpackagedir/--with-tclpackage/g in autoconf error
     254          reports (pguyot)
     255        - fixes for the buildall.sh script (jkh)
     256
     257    - Some other fixes for lurking bugs, untapped by the various developments
     258      that have taken place since 1.1 ("bunch of developers ;-);
     259
     260    - Snazzy new ChangeLog file
     261   
     262    - Add new actions for port(1): help (get help about port),
     263      echo (the expanded arguments),
     264      cat (the contents of the Portfiles from the specified ports),
     265      edit (also alias "ed", the contents of the Portfiles, using EDITOR or VISUAL),
     266      dir (emit path to the port's directory),
     267      file (emit path to the port's Portfile)
     268      (jberry)
     269     
     270    - On make install, upgrade ports.conf and sources.conf to change rsync.opendarwin.org
     271      to rsync.darwinports.org. This is now our preferred rsync hostname.
     272      Likewise, rename the rsync destination directories in ${prefix}/var/db/dports/sources
     273      in a similar fashion (jberry)
