Version 23.8.1 (2023-08-22)

  • Fix regression introduced in 23.8.0 where only the first argument to "keep" and "unkeep" commands was processed. Reported by gdt.

Version 23.8.0 (2023-08-16)

This is the biggest overhaul of pkgin yet! As well as fixing many bugs, pkgin 23.8.0 runs "pkgin -n upgrade" over 2,000x faster on a test system with 12,663 packages installed compared to 22.10.0 (1.4 seconds vs over 54 minutes).

  • Large overhaul of dependency resolution code, fixing many upgrade issues, providing significant performance improvements, and improving code and logic readability.

  • Add support for SUPERSEDES.

  • Fix install and removal ordering.

  • Improve and fix handling of "keep" packages, using pkg_add -A to correctly install automatic packages rather than applying keep or unkeep flags afterwards.

  • Output improvements, sorting packages alphabetically and providing a simple progress counter. Fix unwanted output that could end up mixed with package paths in "pkgin export".

  • Correct handling of +REQUIRED_BY for reverse dependencies, fixing DEPENDS that use alternate matches.

  • Many internal code improvements, memory leaks plugged, and compiler warnings eradicated.

Fixes at least the following issues:

Version 22.10.0 (2022-10-05)

  • Fix issue where newly-installed packages were not correctly marked as keep packages.

Version 22.9.0 (2022-09-06)

  • Pass verbose flag down to libfetch operations too.
  • Update show-keep/show-no-keep output format (Sunil Nimmagadda).
  • Add -4 and -6 flags to force libfetch to use IPv4/IPv6 (Staffan Thomén, Sebastian Wiedenroth).
  • Convert many SQL queries to use sqlite3_snprintf() and sqlite3 format strings to reduce potential SQL injection attacks (Taylor R Campbell).
  • Use sqlite3 savepoints, fixing issue around interrupted local summary updates (Taylor R Campbell).
  • Use posix_spawn() on newer macOS.

Version 21.12.0 (2021-12-01)

  • Manual page fixes (Arnie97).
  • Avoid crash when FILE_SIZE is invalid in a remote repository.

Version 21.10.1 (2021-10-20)

  • Free memory correctly when building package lists for printing. Reduces memory usage considerably when operating on a large number of packages.
  • Avoid infinite loop in package linked list when handling pkg_install.

Version 21.10.0 (2021-10-12)

  • Support building with -DPREFER_GZIP_SUMMARY which will attempt to fetch pkg_summary.gz first, useful on slower machines with limited memory.

Version 21.7.0 (2021-07-22)

  • Syncronise latest humanize_number() from NetBSD, sizes greater than 64PB are now printed correctly.
  • Regenerate for autoconf-2.71 and fix "make distcheck".
  • Fix inconsistent output when using globs (iMil).
  • Fix out-of-srcdir builds.
  • Improve fetch failure error messages.
  • Update documentation to reflect IRC migration to Libera (Ralf Doering).

Version 20.12.1 (2020-12-30)

  • Fix version selection of packages and dependencies for install. Previously the first returned match would win, and preferred.conf was not considered for dependencies.

Version 20.12.0 (2020-12-13)

  • Return correct MACHINE_ARCH when using $arch in repositories.conf.

Version 20.11.0 (2020-11-02)

  • Avoid segmentation fault when trying to install package conflicts.
  • Remove default 15 second download timeout, also fixing -fno-common.
  • Remove debugging code that snuck into the previous release.

Version 20.8.0 (2020-08-28)

  • Avoid segmentation faults across a few different scenarios.

Version 20.7.0 (2020-07-13)

  • Order package installs correctly.
  • Switch to mdoc(7) manual page, converted by wizd(8).
  • Remove -F (force reinstall) flag.
  • Enable compiler warnings in maintainer mode.
  • Match candidate packages correctly, avoiding issues with packages that include "-[0-9]" in their package names.
  • Various internal cleanups.

Version 20.5.1 (2020-05-25)

  • Improve make portability.

Version 20.5.0 (2020-05-25)

  • Switch to automake and overhaul mandatory configure options.
  • Remove unused code and pointless configure tests, cleaning up includes and headers where appropriate.
  • New version number scheme (yy.m.x). The previous scheme had no relevance, this one at least gives users some clue about how up-to-date their version is.

Version 0.16.1 (2020-04-29)

  • Don't attempt to update the keep list if we're only downloading packages.
  • Avoid C99isms for now, fixes CentOS 6 build.
  • Ignore "pkg_admin rebuild-tree" output, removes spurious "Done." messages from output.
  • Some minor internal refactoring.

Version 0.16.0 (2020-04-27)

  • Rebuild +REQUIRED_BY files after each pkgdb modification, ensuring consistency and avoiding "Can't open +CONTENTS of ..." errors during subsequent upgrades.
  • Improved output sorting.
  • Turn off WARNS.
  • Minor cleanups.
  • Documentation fixes.
  • Flush yes/no prompt before reading response (Michael Forney).

Version 0.15.0 (2020-01-06)

  • Also match full package names when searching (Erik van Nooijen).

Version 0.14.0 (2019-12-12)

  • Ensure reverse dependencies are considered when a "pkgin install" triggers an upgrade of a local package, avoiding potentially nasty bugs.
  • Minor performance improvement.

Version 0.13.0 (2019-09-24)

  • "pkgin upgrade" now upgrades all packages instead of only keep packages, and essentially replaces "pkgin full-upgrade". Selective upgrades have always been risky and provide no benefit, especially in light of refresh support. "pkgin full-upgrade" is retained for compatibility but marked as deprecated.
  • Refresh the local package repository when a forced update is requested, so that a failed update can be repaired easily.
  • Switch NetBSD default repository from ftp.netbsd.org to cdn.netbsd.org.

Version 0.12.0 (2019-06-13)

  • Fix ordering of database updates, ensuring modification times are only updated once the new data is committed.

Version 0.11.8 (2019-05-20)

  • Improve SQL strictness, avoiding issues where excessive writes to the SQL error log caused by changes in SQLite 3.27.0 would swamp regular operations.

Version 0.11.7 (2019-03-07)

  • Switch back to NetBSDfr/pkgin as the upstream repository.
  • Improve database safety.
  • Fix clang -Wmissing-noreturn and -Wformat-nonliteral warnings.

Version 0.11.6 (2018-09-20)

  • Fix -Werror=conversion build issue.

Version 0.11.5 (2018-09-20)

  • Fix crash when preferred.conf exists but is empty.
  • Improve preferred.conf handling.
  • Fix package not available message when attempting to install a non-existent package.
  • Small performance improvement in newline handling.

Version 0.11.4 (2018-07-03)

  • Fix dependency matching to correctly consider DEPENDS rather than simply attempting to pull in the highest version. Resolves issues with installing packages depending on samba and their conflicts against tdb and talloc.

Version 0.11.3 (2018-06-29)

  • Allow -y flag to work with autoremove.
  • Improve -n flag and autoremove output formatting.

Version 0.11.2 (2018-06-20)

  • Fix a couple of issues with PKGPATH handling in import and upgrade.
  • Fix an occasional memory corruption issue with commands that call pkg_info for output.

Version 0.11.1 (2018-06-14)

  • Permit the user to install an older package version.
  • Ensure warning and error counters are reset for each phase.
  • Print total download size when using -d.

Version 0.11.0 (2018-06-08)

  • Fix build on NetBSD/evbarm.
  • Skip download checks for packages that are being removed, prevents erroneous "empty FILE_SIZE" failures.
  • Perform in-place upgrades using pkg_add -DU rather than removing and reinstalling. Should be faster and less error-prone.
  • Output formatting improvements. Installs are now split between refresh, upgrade, and install, with package lists formatted to be easier to read.

Version 0.10.2 (2018-06-06)

  • Fix -f flag when used with install.
  • Handle empty BUILD_DATE correctly.

Version 0.10.1 (2018-06-01)

  • Download handling fixes.
  • Count packages correctly.
  • Ensure the remote database is updated before performing upgrades.
  • Internal code cleanups, refactoring, WARNS fixes, etc.
