XBPS 0.36 is out
A new XBPS stable version has been released: 0.36. This is a minor release
that contains a new utility xbps-checkvers(8)
to be used by the XBPS source packages
collection (among other things).
Release notes:
-
libxbps: the dependency solver is now able to detect and ignore invalid dependencies of a package that are depending on itself, either as real or virtual packages.
-
xbps-uchroot(8): a manual page has been created.
-
xbps-install(8): the
-n
,--dry-run
option does not acquire the pkgdb file lock anymore, so that any user can use this mode even without write permission to the target pkgdb. -
xbps-query(8): fix a segfault with
-vL
for local unsigned repositories. -
xbps-create(8): new option
--compression
to specify a compression format; defaults to xz. -
xbps-checkvers(8): new utility merged from https://github.com/xdave/xbps-src-utils that is able to check which packages are outdated in the XBPS repositories or a rootdir by comparing them against a xbps-packages repository. Written by xdave and improved by myself.
