pakke Changelog ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ $Id: NEWS,v 1.1 2003/11/22 12:43:35 rich Exp $ 0.2.3 2003-??-?? ---------------- - DSM specification version 0.6.1: * Added the 'porter-web-site' and 'porter-ftp-site' directives. * Added the version wildcards '?' and '*', for easier package matching in dependencies. - DSM parser changes - these affect pakke, dsmcheck and programs using libpakke: * Support the changes to the DSM specification. * It now only recommends that binary, documentation and source DSMs should contain a 'license' directive. Other package types are not "real" packages. Group packages refer to other packages, which should have their own licensing information. * Warn about packages with only a major version. * Warn when 'dsm-name' is not the same as 'manifest'. This usually indicates a typographical error. - pakke: * Accept the '-h' and '--hash' options for compatibility with RPM. Support for displaying progress will be added to a later version of pakke. * Allow the HTTP or FTP mirror to be specified on the command-line using the '--mirror' option. * Flush the input buffer, before getting the user's response to questions. pakke should now handle the user's response identically on all platforms. Previously it did not use unbuffered input on non-DJGPP platforms. * When installing/upgrading/uninstalling, allow the user to specify an action for all files. E.g. for uninstalling: [r]emove, [R]emove all, [b]ackup, [B]ackup all, [k]eep, [K]eep all or [a]bort? * --syncdb should not fail, if there are no DSMs available. It now keeps on going, when no manifests or available DSMs are found and warns if a package is unmatched. E.g.: a warning is issued when a package has a manifest, but no DSM can be found for it in the installed or available databases. * When --upgrade detects that the package is already installed, it will now print less confusing messages. It should also only fail if the archives were corrupt. * --install and --upgrade should now work correctly, when installing packages where the path to a package is given. Previously it could fail, when the path was drive-letter relative, e.g. z:foo.zip. - libpakke: * Add is_ftp_url() and is_http_url(). * autoconf 2.5x may define PACKAGE_* in config.h. Undefine them in , to avoid a clash with PACKAGE_VERSION and use our definitions in preference. * find_archive() now copes with files in directories that are specified by a drive letter only, e.g.: z:foo.zip. - autoconf 2.57 and automake 1.7.3 are now required, if you wish to change the configure script or Makefiles. To ease maintainence, all version numbers are now defined in the autoconf script. Files containing these version numbers are substituted by configure. This affects doc/version.txi, src/version.h, include/libpakke/version.h and the new file include/libpakke/dsm/version.h. - scripts/dsmgen.sh: * Only load $HOME/dsmgenrc if it exists. * Improved the help message to describe $HOME/dsmgenrc. * Generate a 'replaces' directive for binary packages. - scripts/dsm2ver.sh: * Don't display spurious commas, if no description was found in the DSM. 0.2.2 2002-10-16 ---------------- - The DSM parser now supports non-fatal errors. This allows the DSM parser to warn about minor DSM syntax errors that it can cope with. Note that pakke only reports non-fatal errors, when run in verbose mode. The DSM parser now also: * recommends that every DSM should contain a 'license' directive. - Fixed a bug in the reporting of errors in DSMs which were loaded in bulk. Previously only the first error was reported for each file. Please note that this bug did not affect DSMs loaded individually, e.g.: by dsmcheck. - Fixed a bug in the deduplication code, which did not handle the case where the first element in the package list was a duplicate. The package_dedupe() function from libpakke was modified to return the new list head. 0.2.1 2002-06-30 ---------------- - Added support for using '--changelog', '--pre-install-readme', '--post-install-readme', '--pre-uninstall-readme' and '--post-uninstall-readme' on installed packages. - Removed '-$(MAKEFLAGS)' from Makefiles, since MAKEFLAGS are passed via the environment. The usage of '-$(MAKEFLAGS) broke the Makefiles, when trying to set variables on the make command line, e.g.: make FOO=bar all - "zippo" was renamed to "pakke", to prevent confusion with Zippo Manufacturing Company's trade mark on the Zippo name for Zippo lighters. 0.2.0 2002-05-19 ---------------- - Fixed a bug in installing/upgrading a package from a renamed archive file. Previously install/upgrade would look for the archive file specified in the DSM, rather than using the renamed archive file. NB: When installing a package that comes as multiple archives, the archives *must* still have the names specified in the DSM. - Check the dependencies on a package, before checking whether all its archives are present. This re-ordering is necessary as part of supporting HTTP/FTP downloads of packages. - Search the alphas/ and beta/ subdirectories of the DJGPP directories (v2/, v2apps/, v2gnu/, v2misc/, v2tk/), when looking for packages in archive directories. Also look in the allegro/ directory of v2tk/. - You can now upgrade a package using its entry in the available database. E.g.: pakke --upgrade --available 'bison 1.35 (binaries)' - pakke can now download archives from a web server or FTP server, if it cannot find a package's archives. - pakke can now download the 'djgpp-dsms' package from a web server or FTP server, when run with the '--syncdb' option. The 'djgpp-dsms' package contains DSMs for all the latest DJGPP packages. - pakke can now be run in non-interactive mode. In this mode it will automatically and cautiously answer questions it would have asked the user. - Build system changes: A 'maintainer-distclean' target was added, to remove all automatically-generated files, including Makefiles generated by the configure script. - Fixed a bug in the handling of package names, when using escape characters. The escape characters were managled by pakke, so packages would not match. - Fixed a bug in the handling of package names with '+' characters, e.g. g++. The '+' characters were not interpreted properly, so error messages like the following could be seen: bash-2.04$ pakke -q g++ Warning: Could not compile regular expression '^g++$' g++ 3.0.3 (binaries) 1 package(s) matched pakke will not also fail, if it cannot compile regular expressions like this, to avoid selecting the wrong package in some cases. - There were updates to work with version 0.6.0 of the DSM specification: * Package names are now treated insensitively of case, e.g.: GdB == gdb. * The 'type' directive, the 'duplicate-action' directive, the platform component of the 'version' directive, feature names and qualifiers (in dependencies) are now be treated insensitively of case. * If the package type is specified as, say, binaries, but a 'binaries-dsm' directive is given, then an error will be produced. This should help avoid cut and paste errors, when maintainers are producing DSMs for binaries, documentation and sources versions of a package. 0.1.6 release 2 2002-03-16 -------------------------- - Include wget sources to comply with the GNU GPL. Thanks to DJ Delorie for pointing out this necessity. 0.1.6 2002-03-11 ---------------- - package_free() now only frees the child data. The PACKAGE_INFO struct must be freed separately. packlist_free() now only works on lists where each PACKAGE_INFO struct has been dynamically-allocated. - Install and upgrade now perform all checks on archives, dependencies, etc., before aborting if there is something wrong. This is so the user can fix everything at once. - package_version_string() now includes the type in the returned version string, since the type is part of the version. package_type_string() now takes a package version as parameter, rather than the package itself. - Leading zeroes are now ignored in version comparisons, so 2.03 == 2.3. The leading zeroes are considered to be for presentation purposes only. - Fixed some build warnings with gcc 3.x - the "does not give a valid preprocessing token" warnings (see http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2001-10/msg00804.html). - Fixed a problem where filenames in ZIP archives were handled in a case sensitive way on a case insensitive platform (i.e. DOS/Windows). - Dependencies now show the package type for dependencies without version numbers. - Since type is now a part of a version, the type is defaulted in dependencies to the type of the package with the dependency. This is a temporary fix until the DSM specification allows types to be specified in dependencies. - configure script ('config') changes: * Don't check for libsocket anymore. pakke will use external programs for its networking. * The '-ggdb' flag produces DWARF-2 debug information with the DJGPP port of gcc 3.x. Since the DJGPP port of gdb 5.0 doesn't understand DWARF-2, use '-gstabs+' instead in the compiler flags. - Added a platform DSM for Windows XP. - DSM parsing fixes: * Line numbers are now counted correctly. * The parser copes with multiple occurrences of 'version' and '*-version' directives now. (NB: It's illegal to have multiple occurrences of these directives.) The parser now uses the last occurrence. - Test suite changes: * Added 'test/dep/multi.c' to check dependencies work, when multiple versions of a package are installed. * 'test/dsm' is now part of the test suite, to check DSM parsing. - KITE now builds with gcc 3.x. - The configuration file parser now supports substituting environment variables (see the example pakkerc). Some bugs were fixed in the parser: in particular, it should now report the line number correctly in error reports. - pakke will no longer issue a warning like the following, when querying a package file: "Warning: Unable to read MD5 hashes for bison 1.33 (binaries) - using manifest" - '--syncdb' will now look for the latest version of the djgpp-dsms package and install/upgrade it automatically. This ensures that the latest DSMs for the latest packages in the DJGPP archive will always be available. - Install, upgrade and uninstall will no longer automatically add or remove info directory entries. Previously pakke could trash the info directory. In future pakke will run the commands specified in DSMs to add or remove info directory entries. (This topic was thoroughly discussed on djgpp-workers. You may wish to search the mail archives at http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/ . Thanks to Peter J. Farley III for his work on this problem.) - If you try to install from a non-existent package file, it will produce an error message. Previously it would produce a cryptic message like: "ds020131.zip: Package unsupported Error: Unable to parse DSM!" 0.1.5 2001-08-27 ---------------- - '--check-integrity' now ignores virtual and group packages. (Tim van Holder, Richard Dawe) - Some build improvements in the Makefiles: pakke should be built less frequently now, because comptime.[ch] generated better; some cruft removed; binaries left in source directory and copied into bin/ and lib/ (Tim van Holder). - Fixed a parsing bug in user specifiers - e.g.: pakke -q 'binutils 2.* (binaries)' should now match. - '--rcfile' should work again. - The test suite now uses pakke's default configuration file. This should avoid problems that can be caused by a non-default configuration file (e.g. pakke generating warnings, causing a test to fail). - Queries on package files or an available package will now show correctly whether the dependencies are satisfied by the installed packages. - Packages can now be installed by name, e.g.: pakke -i -A 'gcc (binaries)' 0.1.4 2001-07-01 ---------------- - Added a script to generate a package containing all DSMs from a mirror of the DJGPP archive - scripts/pkgdsms.sh. - Fix for bug #32: "maintainer & maintainer-email DSM directives not supported." Up to 8 maintainer* directives are now supported. - Fix for bug #35: "pakke crashes on exit." - configure script improvements: make help for options blend in with help for configure's other options; use autoheader to generate config.hin; update bzip2 library tests to work with bzip2 1.0; fix --with-pmode-stub to check value of $withval; allow PMSTUB to be called from any directory in the source tree, not just src/. (Tim van Holder) - Updated the DSM specification version 0.5.0 to clarify certain points - use of 'type' instead of 'dsm-type'; purpose of standard provisions. - '--initdb' should now detect and install a platform DSM for Windows ME. - Various minor bugs were fixed in the DSM parser. - When installing packages from ZIP files, pakke will now preserve the timestamp on the files. I.e. the extracted files will have the same date & time as the original file in the ZIP file. - The libpakke headers now include version information: libpakke/dsm.h defines DSM_VERSION_MAJOR, DSM_VERSION_MINOR, DSM_VERSION_SUBMINOR to contain the digits of the supported DSM specification version; libpakke/version.h defines LIBPAKKE_VERSION_MAJOR, LIBPAKKE_VERSION_MINOR, LIBPAKKE_VERSION_SUBMINOR to contain the digits of the libpakke version. - Version 0.5.1 of the DSM specification is now supported. New features supported are: the 'release' component of version information, to support multiple releases of a package. - The DSM parser now checks 'dsm-version' in the DSM file, to see if it supports the version of the DSM specification used. - pakke now checks the integrity of all archives belonging to a package, before installing. For ZIP files the CRC for each file is checked. - Fixed a bug in version comparisons, which may have caused weird side-effects when upgrading packages. - If a package consists of a single ZIP file, then pakke will now install that package using that ZIP file. Previously it could only install from a ZIP file with the exact name from the DSM. For example: if a DSM contained 'zip: foo.zip', then previously you had to install using a file called 'foo.zip'; now it can be called any name (with a .zip extension). 0.1.3 2001-04-18 ---------------- - '-q --long-info' should now work for packages without DSMs. - Added introduction to 'dsmcheck' documentation. - Added platform DSM for Windows 3.x. - '--syncdb' now synchronises with the package DSMs built into pakke. - Install, uninstall and upgrade should now back up changed files. - Removed getopt code, since it's not used anymore - popt replaced it a long time ago. - Uninstalls now handle packages without DSMs or MD5 hashes better - the user is prompted whether each file should be removed, backed up, kept or whether the uninstall should be aborted. pakke has no way of knowing which files have modified, when there are no MD5 hashes. - Binutils version now included in build information shown by 'pakke -V'. - Uninstall now aborts, if it failed while removing package files. Previously it would remove references to the package from pakke's database, leaving the database in a bad state. - Uninstall and upgrade would previously proceed, when dependencies would be broken. They now abort. - Rewrote the configuration file (pakkerc) parsing, using flex and bison. It should now be more robust and easier to maintain. Spaces are now allowed in filenames, as long as they are enclosed in double quotes. - When installing a package that contains info files, pakke will run 'install-info' automatically, to add entries to the info directory. Similarly when uninstalling a package that contains info files, pakke will run 'install-info', to remove its info directory entries. 0.1.3 alpha 1 2001-02-23 ------------------------ - Fixed install target to correctly install text documents. - Fixed regression in handling of missing ZIPs. - Added 'package_set_defaults()' function to set sensible defaults in the absence of information from a DSM. - Added basic handling of 'duplicate-action' in install. - Fixed handling of 'mailing-list-description'. - Added a new function 'packlist_find()', which will find packages based on string input. There can be multiple matching methods, but currently only simple string matching is supported. The single query method (by package name) has been updated to use this. - Added support for wildcards in version specifiers. This should allow the query options to be more useful in the future (e.g. "-q 'fileutils 4.*'"). The function 'dsm_parse_wildcard_version()' will parse this kind of version specifier. - {die,warn,info}f() functions now use v*printf() instead of the internal library function _doprnt(), to increase portability. - 'dsmcheck' now works for DSM files in archives. - Added support for '--changelog', '--pre-install-readme', '--post-install-readme', '--pre-uninstall-readme' and '--post-uninstall-readme' queries. - The DSM parsing was fixed to allow multiple occurrences of the directives that should be multiply allowed, according to the DSM specification. - '--long-info' and '--longinfo' will now list all information for a package. - Added a check that 'binaries-dsm', 'sources-dsm' and 'documentation-dsm' do not have a file extension. - Added support for the 'install-warning' directive, both in the install code and as a query type. - Further interface tidy-ups - more usage of 'const'. Some header file fixes - path to libpakke headers, C++ inclusion protection. - The version parsing function ver_parse() was split into two functions - ver_parse() and ver_get_and_parse() - for an interface similar to the DSMs'. - The package type is now stored in the PACKAGE_VERSION structure. - Removed very verbose, very quiet modes - they're redundant. - '--syncdb' now searches the manifest directory for DSMs of packages that have been installed without pakke. - Fixed Linux build. - "--initdb --with-pakke" now installs a DSM for pakke too. - Test suite now rebuilds tests automatically if lib/libpakke.a changes. - Uninstall support - Upgrade support added, but preliminary 0.1.2 patchlevel 3 2000-09-09 ----------------------------- Nothing important was done - this is a checkpoint release for importing into CVS. pakke will now be hosted on DJ Delorie's CVS server (thanks!). 0.1.2 patchlevel 2 2000-08-23 ----------------------------- - Patch to fix build with libsocket 0.7.4 beta 4 and later (Laurynas Biveinis). - DSM specification changed to allow pre-release number as part of the version specification. Added a test DSM - 'test/dsm/badver.dsm'. - Install now uses dsm_get_and_parse(). To support this, more error reports were added to dsm_perror(). - Install will now search the package's directory for archives. This fixes the bug with installing from a directory that wasn't in the archive search path. - The PMODE/DJ stub is not used by default now - use the '--with-pmode-stub' to build with it. Also, a bug from patchlevel 1 in the configure script was fixed, so the stub should be found properly now. - Started pakke coding standards (see coding.txt). 0.1.2 patchlevel 1 2000-08-13 ----------------------------- - Makefile fixes: pl0 built a document by default - fixed to build by default again; documentation built a little better; use $(MAKE) instead of make. - 'tags' target added for building Emacs tags file. 'ID' target added for building table for GNU id-utils. 'check' target added for running test suite. - Switched to using calloc() instead of malloc() followed by bzero(); switched to using malloc() instead of bzero() (Laurynas Biveinis). - 'config' script changes: . To build with MSS, you now need to pass '--with-mss' to the config script. . Now detects: more programs; file extensions; standard C headers. - Fixed a bug in package_free(), where it attempted to free an array. - '--install' now checks that all archives specified by a DSM exist, before creating the prefix. It also checks that the package is one of the currently supported types: binaries, sources, documentation, virtual. - Moved DJGPP archive prefix information into new DJGPP shared data and functions files: src/libpakke/djgpp.c, include/libpakke/djgpp.h. - Added '-L' and '--license' options to pakke and dsmcheck for displaying the license. - 'make -C doc all' will build optional documentation formats - this now includes DVI and PostScript formats. - Added a new function dsm_get_and_parse(); some new error codes were added to include/libpakke/dsm.h for this. (Laurynas Biveinis) - Fixed a memory corruption bug in dsm_parse(). - Restructured the manifest parsing code - added the functions mft_get(), mft_get_from_archive(). As a result, some user-interface code was moved from src/libpakke/mft.c to src/query.c (i.e. out of libpakke): . mft_show_files() -> query_show_files() . mft_has_file() -> query_has_file() As a side-effect, the '-f' query now works for archives. - dief(), warnf(), infof(), logf() now use gcc's printf-format checking for varargs. 0.1.2 patchlevel 0 2000-08-06 ----------------------------- - popt port removed, now that there's a proper DJGPP port. - libpakke interfaces now use 'const' appropriately (Laurynas Biveinis). - '--install' and '-qp' on a ZIP file that has no DSM file now produces a sensible message - try the test case test/zip/useless.zip. - '--help' and '--version' now work when the database has not been initialised. - dsmcheck now has '--help' and '--version' options. dsmcheck's texinfo documentation also started. - 'distclean' now removes binaries from bin/. - Texinfo documentation is now distributed under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License (GNU FDL). 0.1.1 patchlevel 14 2000-06-15 ------------------------------ - Option parsing now uses popt (Kalum Somaratna). A hacked-up port of popt is included, pending a proper port (Richard Dawe). - Small fix for using MSS on read-only or full media, e.g. CD-ROMs. pakke will disable writing an MSS log file and will log to stdout instead. 0.1.1 patchlevel 13 2000-05-18 ------------------------------ - MD5 hash generation is now done on install, in addition to syncdb. 0.1.1 patchlevel 12 2000-05-10 ------------------------------ - Graph code (Laurynas Biveinis). - Texinfo documentation for pakke now includes install instructions. - 'install' target now installs pakke documentation into the 'DJGPP Package Management' category in the info directory (dir). 0.1.1 patchlevel 11 2000-05-06 ------------------------------ - Dependency code changed to use generic dependency parsing function (Laurynas Biveinis, Richard Dawe) - now all DSM parsing functions take the directive as their first argument; browser function added to run a function on each package in a package list (useful in the future for checking dependencies). - '--install' option now works, but '-qi' is broken. The option parsing code needs a little fixing. - HTML documentation now built with texinfo 4.0's 'makeinfo --html' option. - Some DSM bugfixes. 0.1.1 patchlevel 10 2000-05-02 ------------------------------ - DSM specification is now at version 0.4.2 - thanks to Eli Zaretskii for his comments. - The 'changelog', scripting and 'newsgroup-description' directives are now parsed. Note that these directives aren't actually supported in a useful way by pakke yet. - Fix for building comptime.h when doing 'make dep' (Laurynas Biveinis). - Windows NT 4 platform DSM now 'provides' Windows functionality, to support packages that require Windows. 0.1.1 patchlevel 9 2000-04-19 ----------------------------- - Added OS detection code for '--initdb', so the appropriate platform DSM can be installed automatically (Kalum Somaratna). - Fix for getopt handling of '--with-platform' (Kalum Somaratna). 0.1.1 patchlevel 8 2000-04-16 ----------------------------- - '--syncdb' now updates DSMs for the installed packages in share/pakke/db, if a more recent DSM is found in share/pakke/db-avail. - MD5 hashes are generated for all files listed in the manifest; MD5 hashes are not generated for none, group or virtual packages. - DSM parser now skips whitespace lines, rather than considering them to be directives. 0.1.1 patchlevel 7 2000-04-13 ----------------------------- [ Not much changed - only a to-do added to todo.txt. ] 0.1.1 patchlevel 6 2000-04-10 ----------------------------- - Code previously used 'operator' as field in structures - switched to 'op' to avoid problems with C++ (Laurynas Biveinis). - Many DSM corrections, new DSM provide: 'info-reader'. (Laurynas Biveinis) - MD5 hash-generation code now works (test programs included). - Logging code started. - New platform DSMs written. - Dependencies should now be generated properly for libpakke headers included using '<...>'. 0.1.1 patchlevel 5 2000-04-05 ----------------------------- [ This was not distributed, as far as I can tell. ] - Added two group DSMs - one for former Borland C developers; one for GNU development tools (Laurynas Biveinis). 0.1.1 patchlevel 4 2000-04-04 ----------------------------- - DSMs improved (Laurynas Biveinis, a little by Richard Dawe); another test DSM added - test/dsm/baaad2.dsm. - Fixes in the DSM parsing code - line-numbering was out by 1; lines with directive but no content were erroneously allowed. (Laurynas Biveinis) - Documentation corrections (Laurynas Biveinis). - Base64 encoding code started (untested). 0.1.1 patchlevel 3 2000-04-02 ----------------------------- - Fix for comptime.h generation (Laurynas Biveinis). - 'install-lib' Makefile target added (Laurynas Biveinis). - MD5 hash-generation code added to build. - Some texinfo fixes. - More DSMs added. 0.1.1 patchlevel 2 2000-03-27 ----------------------------- - pakke texinfo documentation started. - Improved option parsing using getopt() (Kalum Somaratna). - 'string.h' now included in files generated by mkplat. Its omission was a bug that manifested itself when not using MSS, because the MSS headers include 'string.h'. - Some automatically generated files removed from the build. - Added new levels of output - quiet & very quiet. WARNING: The varying levels of verbosity are not well supported yet. 0.1.1 patchlevel 1 2000-02-19 ----------------------------- - Patched a couple of routines to avoid calling free() on NULL pointers - patch by Laurynas Biveinis. - Updated the required package list, as I had omitted some and not known about others. - Changed libpakke's licence to be licensed under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License. This is so that libpakke can be incorporated into non-GPL programs. - Fixed the '--syncdb' option. Previously it would fail if no DSMs existed in the package database - for a system that only has manifests for packages, this was broken behaviour. - Some tidy-ups - removed CVS copies of the files share/pakke/pakkerc, share/pakke/simtelrc - the "real" copies of these are in src/defaults. - Added an install option to the Makefile. - Fixed small bug in output of '-q -a -f '. 0.1.1 2000-02-09 ---------------- - Fixed a bug in the patch to recursive_mkdir() that lead to SIGSEGV's on Linux. - Fixed dsm_parse() not to trash the passed buffer. This fixed a problem noticed by Laurynas Biveinis, while using the install option. - Added check for presence of zlib, thanks to suggestion by Laurynas Biveinis. - Added '--syncdb' option to create missing DSMs in the installed database from the list of manifest files using the available DSM database. - Added new directives to the DSM specification: . mailing-list-request . dsm-author . dsm-author-email . dsm-author-im . dsm-author-web-site . dsm-author-ftp-site . dsm-file-version . newsgroup-email-gateway . license - All ICQ directives have been changed to a more generic instant messaging directive. All '-icq' directives -> '-im'. - Fixed a bug in '--initdb' that copied 'pakke' rather than 'pakke.exe' under DOS. (There's probably a whole load of other stuff I forgot in the two months before I got round to releasing this version.) 0.1 snapshot 1999-08-07 patch 1999-08-14 ---------------------------------------- - Fixed a bug in recursive_mkdir() that made it fail on DOS platforms. Thanks to Laurynas Biveinis for fixing this. - Fixed configure.in and Makefile.in to find gcc automatically. Thanks to Laurynas Biveinis for fixing this. 0.1 snapshot 1999-08-07 ----------------------- - long-description is now parsed by dsm_parse(). - Rewrote dsm_parse() - this now parses a DSM passed as a string. The code using dsm_parse() was changed to load DSMs into memory first (see read_text_file_to_memory() in util.c and archive_extract_file_to_memory() in archive.c). The DSM parser also returns an error if an unknown DSM is directive is present. - Multiple 'zip' or 'tar-gzip' directives are now parsed. Previously only one occurence was handled. - The build process is now completely controlled by the configure script. Use 'bash configure --help' to view all the '--enable-xxx' options. - Included the package versions in the output of the '-a' and '-A' options. - Fixed a couple of DSM parsing bugs. - Made sensible default values for the root and prefix, namely c:/djgpp. If no prefix is specified, the value of the root will be used. The compiled-in defaults can be viewed using the '-V' option. - Added support for platform information as part of the version information. - Added a platform specifier to the version information. 0.1 snapshot 1999-07-17 ------------------------ - Fixed bug in dsm_load_all() which caused a segfault on closedir() on a NULL pointer. - MSS helped find a bug in rcfile_substitute_special(). - Added configure auto-detection of MSS, a memory allocation debugger. BTW this works with DJGPP & Linux. - Fixed a couple of bugs in the DSM version parsing. - Added a new DSM version field 'snapshot' for date-based releases at the request of Laurynas Biveinis. The versions of pakke are now snapshots rather than alphas ;) - Updated the install instructions, with a more complete list of required packages to build pakke. - Added a sample DSM for libsocket in share/pakke/db-avail/ 0.1 alpha 2 ----------- - Began install option support, but so far it only checks the dependencies. - Version numbers for manifests obtained from .ver files. The package type is also guessed from the last letter, e.g. one of b, s, d, and defaults to none/unknown. - Fixed autoconf script for strlwr() and stricmp(). It should now compile properly with DJGPP. - Added parsing of dependencies & querying of them. - Added support for reading of DSMs and manifests from ZIP files - manifest/.dsm or .dsm and manifest/.mft and .mft names are matched in the ZIP. The directory and extension names are matched case insensitively. - Default query format is now to display package name, version & type. 0.1 alpha 1 ----------- - Initial version. Richard Dawe
