New XBPS pkgdb 0.21 metadata format
Starting from today, the xbps-git package and the upcoming 0.21 version contains incompatible changes for the package database format (pkgdb). Please upgrade manually the xbps package (or xbps-git) and then use xbps-pkgdb(8)
from 0.21 to update the metadata format.
Update the xbps or xbps-git package:
If you’ve been using the
xbps-git
package remember to use the-S
flag to sync the remote repository index files.
# xbps-install -yu xbps
Update the pkgdb format:
# xbps-pkgdb -u
Conversion to 0.21 pkgdb format successfully
Resync the remote repository index files:
# xbps-install -S
The conversion must also be done in any masterdir being used by xbps-src.
