1 Hi All,
2
3 A new version of Portage (1.6.7) is now on CVS. Here's the ChangeLog:
4
5
6 Portage 1.6.7, released 05 Sep 2001
7 ===================================
8
9 *portage.py
10 (last-minute fix)
11 CONFIG_PROTECT unmerge protection is now observed for symlinks, fifos and
12 device nodes.
13
14 *portage.py
15 Fixes for unmerging CONFIG_PROTECTed files. Protected files are now *not*
16 unlinked from the filesystem. Messier but safer, and simplifies package
17 upgrades.
18
19 *emerge
20 Emerge output cleanups for GNU info directory generation. New --verbose
21 mode; new CONFIG_PROTECT scanning feature to let people know when there are
22 config files to be updated. New "--help config" docs to explain how to
23 do it.
24
25 Portage 1.6.6, released 01 Sep 2001
26 ====================================
27
28 *portage.py
29 Upgraded directory merging over existing objects. Existing symlinks that
30 point to existing directories will be kept and used as is; directories will
31 be used as-is; any other objects (broken symlinks, files) will be copied
32 to origfilename.backup and a ne directory will be created in its place.
33
34 Portage 1.6.5, released 31 Aug 2001
35 ====================================
36
37 *emerge
38 Fixes for handling multiple ebuilds, packages and/or dependencies on
39 the command-line.
40
41 *portage.py
42 An optimization to the digraph class so that the firstzero() method finds
43 matches in close to the order that keys were added to the digraph.
