New ebuilds - should use elog instead of einfo for delivering important information as - einfo messages will not be logged by default. [genone] -* elog modules: Together with the framework some basic modules implementing - common logging facilities are shipped, these include: - - mod_syslog for relaying messages to syslog - - mod_mail for sending messages to a predefined mail adress - - mod_save for saving messages to a file - - mod_custom for processing messages with a custom command - NOTE: The elog interfaces are still subject to change, so don't rely on the - exact format yet. [genone] -* version syntax enhancements: The version parsing and comparison code was - completely rewritten and now supports two extensions to previous versions: - - a cvs prefix to denote live cvs (or svn or any other vcs) ebuilds, so now - you can have a package foo with the ebuilds foo-1.ebuild and - foo-cvs.1.ebuild in the same directory. cvs ebuilds will always be - ranked higher than any non-cvs ebuild. - - multiple suffixes now allow for constructions like foo-1.0_pre1_rc5 - [genone] -* recursive config files: Most of the config files in /etc/portage can now - also be directories, if they are then portage will recursively use all - files in them. So you could have /etc/portage/package.keywords/kde/base - and /etc/portage/package.keywords/gnome instead of a single package.keywords. - [genone] -* multi-hash support: digests and Manifests will now use SHA256 and RMD160 in - addition to MD5 [genone] +portage-2.1 +================================== -Bug fixes / Minor Changes -------------------------- -* Removal of "masked by -*" message [genone] -* Fixed some minor screwup in the sort algorithm for versions [genone] -* Make digest errors more verbose (list actual and expected checksums) +* new cache framework, breaking all old cache modules. + If you're having problems with portage_db_cdb, this is likely the cause. |
