This weeks updates

without comments

This has been somewhat of a amputated week, last weekend I was away for a bicycle race and this weekend I’m going to a wedding, so it hasn’t been a lot of time for programming. Anyways I’ve added human-readable output for pkg_info’s -s option (the old is also available with the -b option). The environment variable PKG_DBCACHE_FILE is used to specify where the cache-file is located. And I’ve added features for the pkg_convert program that checks if key’s exists within the database and the printing of the data indexed in the database. The pkg_create -O option has been modified to cache information as well and installing ports from /usr/ports/ will then work if you specify the PKG_CMD in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk to point to this pkg_create.

I’m hoping to release a test-version next week so that I can receive comments and bugs which I’m sure there is. On Thursday next week I’m going on a one week vacation to Greece so that you will have a good time to test the tools and fill my mailbox :)
