Q: How pkgng is different from FreeBSD pkg_* tools? What is the motivation

Q: What is the difference between pkg delete -y and pkg delete -f?
|
| + |
A: By default pkgng will ask before doing something, -y = yes means yes do it,
|
| + |
but if a package is depend on it will fail saying it is depend on, -f == force
|
| + |
means that delete it anyway.
|
| + |
|
| + |
Q: Where is pkg info -R, the old pkg_info had -R?
|
| + |

|
| + |
Q: Can pkgng replace a package with an another version, eg. pkg upgrade pkg-1.0
|
| + |
pkg-2.0?
|
| + |
A: Currently not, but it is in the todo list.
|
| + |
|
| + |
Q: How pkgng deals with dependencies? If pkgA-1.0 depends on pkgB-1.0 and
|
| + |
pkgB-1.0 is updated to pkgB-2.0, will pkgA notice the change?
|
| + |
A: pkgA will automatically notice the change
|
| + |
|

Q: The documented (README) way to create a new repository creates all packages
|
| + |
in one directory. This is different from earlier repository format (separate
|
| + |
directories). Will pkgng adapt the old format?
|
| + |
A: Pkgng doesn't depend on a hierarchy, it recursively find the packages from
|
| + |
the provided directory entry.
|
| + |
|
| + |
Q: Does 'pkg repo' include symlinked packages?
|
| + |
A: The default hierarchy has lots of symlinks which should just be ignored and
|
| + |
thus pkgng doesn't read symlinks.
|
| + |
|
| + |
Q: pkng repository doesn't support packages with same origin (ports path). How
|
| + |
do I know if I have package with same origin?
|
| + |
A: sh -c 'find . -name "*.txz" -exec pkg query -f {} %o \;' | uniq -d
