XBPS 0.46 is out
A new XBPS stable version has been released: 0.46. This is a minor release that contains multiple bugfixes.
-
xbps-*
: all utilities are now usinggetopt_long()
rather thangetopt()
to avoid the differences with glibc and musl when processing arguments. Thanks to Chris M. Brannon for #103 -
xbps_transaction_prepare()
: do not release the transaction dictionary if it returns ENOSPC, we need it to have access to this data to print required/free space. Fixes #101 -
xbps-uchroot(1)
: now handlesSIG{INT,TERM,QUIT}
signals to clean up the temporary masterdir if-t
is set. -
/usr/sbin
is now a symlink in void, don’t consider it as obsolete and never remove it even if it was detected as obsolete. -
xbps-rindex(1)
: use-s, --sign
to initialize the repository archive with the required metadata to allow signed packages. Added-S, --sign-pkg
to sign a specific package archive. This allows to sign a specific package, rather than all packages available in that repository. -
If the repository write lock is already taken, sleep for 1 second, rather than looping endlessly without any timing; this consumed too much CPU time gratuitously.
-
If verifying a pkg signature fails for some reason, i.e: pkg archive is incomplete, signature file is incomplete, whatever, just remove both files. Let’s assume next time the files are downloaded they will be valid.
