Over the months, several people have sent me patches to fix up one of 
pkg_version's weaknesses...namely that of not gracefully dealing with 
multiple installed versions of ports.

A number of things have happened since then, of most relevence being: 1)
I dropped the ball on incorporating any of these, 2) pkg_version has
been imported into the base system (thanks to Bill Fumerola!), and 3) we
have the 3.4 and 4.0 releases of FreeBSD looming in the fairly near
future.

Both Bill and I are really short on time at the moment, but Bill has
offered to *try* to review and commit these patches, amidst all the many
other things he's currently doing.  They *might* not apply completely
cleanly, since there's been a couple of minor changes since the ports
version.  There's also the question of picking which one of these
patches to adopt (or some combination of them).

Unfortunately, I don't have the time right now to look into this (and
probably won't for another two months or so).  So I'm posting the
original patches here (not necessarily in their original order) for Bill
or someone else to look at, and hopefully do something useful with.

Bruce.

PS.  Again, to Stefan, Neil, and Dave, sorry for sitting on these.  :-(

Hi,

I've been using pkg_version on a few machines to check for outdated
ports once in a while. But the number of '?'s were to many for me, so I
made a small patch to compare all versions in index with the one
installed.

It helps me a lot in whenever i use "pkg_version -v|grep -v '=' "

Maybe you can use it in the port, too.

I *love* your pkg_version script, but it didn't quite do everything
I wanted it to do.  Specifically, I have over 90 packages installed
and the outdated packages get lost among all the up-to-date packages.
Also, 11 of those packages have multiple versions and I have to go
through them every time and make sure I've still got an up-to-date
version.

Since my FreeBSD 3.1 upgrade went fairly smoothly, I had a couple of free
hours, so I spent 'em hacking on pkg_version.

First, I added a '-U' option which, if specified, doesn't report the
up-to-date packages.

Next, I added a '-m' option which tries to match multiple versions
of packages.

Finally, I added the Perl '-w' option to the first line (this enables
something like a Perl LINT mode) and fixed the few problems which were
pointed out by this, then added the 'use strict' directive and fixed
everything that *this* whined about.

These changes are appended as a set of three patch files, one for each block
of changes.  I'd *really* like the first two sets to make it in ... I did
the last set mainly to make sure I hadn't messed up anything with my
patches and figured you might find it useful.

Here are the patches:

I agree.

As my first quip, I'd suggest we change the multiple-versions handling

There is a bug in a very specific case, and I'd appreciate some testing.
