pkgng is a binary package manager written from scratch for FreeBSD.
I didn't had a look at it, just some comments about some parts you explained.
features supported are or will be :
- a special architecture "all" allows to specify when a package can be used on every architecture. (not done yet)
What if a package is able to install on a subset, e.g. the linuxulator ports are for amd64 and i386?
No clue for that at the moment but we are open to suggestions.
The suggestion is easy, allow a way to specify a set of valid architectures.
What about DB corruption/loss? Do you keep the /var/db/pkg/<package>/xxx files even with pkgng and only use the DB as a way to speed up some work (so the DB corruption just requires to run pkg2ng), or are you lost of the DB is lost?
Nothing is done about DB corruption/loss, I am not sure we need to do something. Maybe.
I would say "for sure". Info: In Solaris 10 sqlite is used for the service managenemt framework (SMF). It is possible that the DB is corrupt in some bad situations. In this case you have to rebuild the DB (script provided, been there, had to use it).
Currently a filesystem corruption/loss on /var/db/pkg would do the same.
Put a corruption of /var/db/pkg/xyz-1/+REQUIRED_BY would only affect a small part, and this part could be even recovered from (pkgdb from portupgrade is able to do it).
but it is sqlite so we can perhaps provide a way to get compressed dump so user can periodically backup their database.
It needs to be automated. Maybe periodic daily... but maybe this is not often enough after a day of a lot of changes (think about it this way: do you want to lose a day of changes?). The current FS based DB is very robust, partly because there is redundant data, pertly because losing a file just means that the very limited subset of information is lost (and a reinstall of one port will fix it).
Bye, Alexander.
