Version 0.8.0
* New optional 'project' manifest value that specifies the project the
package belongs to. See the package dependency manager manual for
details.
* Make package manifest 'url' and 'email' values optional.
* Make default versioning epoch 1 instead of 0 (0 is now reserved for
"foreign" packages).
* New --manifest option for the pkg-verify command that allows extracting
package's manifest file.
* New --{repositories|packages}-file options for the rep-info command.
This allows saving both manifests with a single invocation (which is the
only way to guarantee they are consistent).
Version 0.7.0
* Support for using git repositories as package repositories. See the
bpkg-repository-types(1) help topic for details (structure, URL format).
* Support for ~ and ^ version constraint operators. See the 'depends'
package manifest value documentation in the bpkg manual for details.
* The pkg-build command has been significantly reworked. In particular, it
allows "building" repositories in addition to packages (primarily useful
with version control-based repositories) and upgrading (--upgrade|-u) or
patching (--patch|-p) immediate (--immediate|-i) or all (--recursive|-r)
dependencies of a package. See bpkg-pkg-build(1) for details.
* The pkg-status has been significantly reworked. In particular, it allows
querying the status of immediate (--immediate|-i) or all (--recursive|-r)
dependencies of a package. See bpkg-pkg-status(1) for details.
* New commands: rep-list, rep-remove, and pkg-checkout. See their respective
man pages for details.
* The pkg-{test,install,uninstall} commands now also support --immediate|-i
and --recursive|-r options (testing/installation of dependencies).
* The pkg-{update,clean,test,install,uninstall} commands now support the
--all|-a option.
* The rep-fetch command now supports shallow fetching and fetching only a
specific repository. See bpkg-rep-fetch(1) for details.
* New --for|-f <operation> option to the pkg-update and pkg-build commands.
This allows executing build2 *-for-X operations (e.g., update-for-install
or update-for-test) in order to minimize the amount of stuff to be
updated.
* New --fetch-timeout common option.
* The repositories, packages, and signature files now use the .manifest
extension.
Version 0.6.0
* Add doc-url and src-url manifest values.
* Support for repository certificate wildcards.
A wildcard in the *.example.com form matches any single-level subdomain
while **.example.com -- any subdomains. See the bpkg-repository-signing(1)
help topic for details.
Version 0.5.0
* Multiple usability fixes and improvements.
* The test suite has been rewritten in Testscript and can now be used on all
supported platforms.
Version 0.4.0
* Support for repository signing and authentication.
The rep-create command can now sign the repository with rep-fetch(fetch)
and rep-info authenticating it. See the bpkg-repository-signing(1) help
topic for details.
* Support for system packages.
Now a package can be "built" as available from the system rather than
compiling it from source. To specify a system package the new sys: package
scheme is used, for example:
bpkg build sys:libsqlite3
Currently, if no version is specified for a system package, then it is
considered to be unknown but satisfying any dependency constraint (such a
wildcard version is displayed as '*'). In the future bpkg will support
querying system package managers (rpm, dpkg, pkg-config) for the installed
version.
See the pkg-build(build) man page for details.
* Support for stub packages.
A stub is a package without source code. It has the special upstream
version 0 (with a possible revision, for example 0+1) and can only be
built as a system package.
* Support for build-time dependencies.
Now a depends: value in the package manifest that starts with '*' is
recognized as a built-time dependency. Currently, build-time dependencies
are treated in the same way as normal (run-time) ones except that the
'build2' and 'bpkg' names are recognized as special. They can be used to
specify a constraint (usually the required minimum version) on the build2
build system and package manager, respectively. In the future, the
semantics for build-time dependencies will be extended, for example, to
verify that they can be executed on the build machine and/or to build them
in a separate configuration in case of cross-compilation.
* The pkg-build(build) command now offers to automatically update dependent
packages that were reconfigured.
It also supports the following new options:
--drop-prerequisite|-D
--update-dependent|-U
--leave-dependent|-L
As well as the -K alias for --keep-prerequisite. See the command's man
page for details.
* The pkg-drop(drop) command now supports the following new options:
--keep-dependent|-K,
--drop-prerequisite|-D
--keep-prerequisite
See the command's man page for details.
* The cfg-add command was renamed to rep-add (the add alias stays the same)
and cfg-fetch to rep-fetch (the fetch alias stays the same).
* The new -V option is an alias for --verbose 3 (show all commands).
Version 0.3.0
* Command line options and arguments can now be specified in any order. This
is especially useful if you want to re-run the previous command with -v:
bpkg update libfoo -v
* The pkg-build command now offers to drop prerequisite packages that are no
longer necessary. This can happen if a package that is being upgraded or
downgraded changes its prerequisite set. You can use the
--keep-prerequisite option to suppress this behavior.
* The pkg-build command now updates all packages at once (that is, with a
single build system invocation) instead of sequentially one at a time.
This should improve performance, especially once parallelism is supported.
* The rep-create command now loads the description-file and changes-file
files from the package archives and includes their contents inline into
the 'packages' manifest file.
Version 0.2.1
* The pkg-build command no longer considers an argument as a potential
package directory unless it ends with a directory separator.
Version 0.2.0
* First public release.
