--n2Pv11Ogg/Ox8ay5 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Hi all, As a first mail on this list, I want to open a discussion on what would be the best way to handle the beta phase of pkgng in the ports tree. We are about to enter in a beta phase and we want to add the beta to the ports tree so that people can test it easily. We also want the users to keep having the 1.0 as default. We have 2 possibilities here: 1- add WITH_PKGNG_DEVEL=yes to the actual ports-mgmt/pkg port switching the 1.0 version to 1.1b1 a bit like WITH_NEW_XORG. bonus: really simple, can only be activated on purpose by the user. 2- add a ports-mgmt/pkg-devel with the new beta which will conflict with ports-mgmt/pkg. As a difficulty remember that the local.sqlite smoothly upgrade from 1.0 to 1.1 but cannot be switch backward. So far I plan a two month beta/rc phase for pkg 1.1 I think the code is quite as robust as the 1.0 branch is and should not bring too much surprises, of course, no date base release, it will be out when ready :) Regards, Bapt --n2Pv11Ogg/Ox8ay5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAlD8gJoACgkQ8kTtMUmk6Ez02QCgwCmf4Ova7P2EDAw7fggs0XwO THMAoILGBAdQh+oftWoZYoBQuINM16PD =mBv0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --n2Pv11Ogg/Ox8ay5--
