Hi all, |
2 |
|
3 |
Portage 1.8.8r1 has been released. Below is a list of all new features |
4 |
and fixes. |
5 |
|
6 |
For users |
7 |
|
8 |
* added support for emerge --unmerge which respects an additional |
9 |
--pretend flag if you just want to see the list of packages that would |
10 |
be unmerged. Use emerge --help or man emerge to get the details about |
11 |
how to use it. Don't forget to also read up on the additional --safe |
12 |
option |
13 |
* made env-update disregard backup files in /etc/env.d |
14 |
|
15 |
For ebuild writers |
16 |
|
17 |
* added support for a pkg_setup() function which is executed before |
18 |
anything else and can be typically used for package configuration |
19 |
actions or required system checks, the default behavior does nothing |
20 |
and can be overridden for most packages that currently have behaviour |
21 |
outside of the standard ebuild functions |
22 |
* implemented the noauto MAINTAINER flags for all relevant ebuild |
23 |
commands |
24 |
* rewrote the packagename without category support to also graceously |
25 |
handle deps specifiers at the beginning, this shouldn't be used in the |
26 |
ebuilds, but is very handy when using emerge --unmerge. This is how |
27 |
emerge handles unmerging "<portage-1.8.8". |
28 |
|
29 |
Thanks a lot to everyone who has helped to make these features and |
30 |
bugfixes being supplied so quickly! |
