All releases of Emerde


Release Notes: portage has been updated to 2.1_rc4, and debianutils to 2.15. The --maketgz* options have been dropped. A bug has been fixed in the --skipit option. It is advised to update to this version, because the new Gentoo's portage is not compatible with the old ones.


Release Notes: The portage was updated to portage 2.1_pre3. Updating is recommended because the new Gentoo's portage isn't compatible with the old ones.


Release Notes: A Sync-cat script that lets you sync a single category or package with the Gentoo repository was added. runscript.sh was patched to handle net dependecies at boot by rc.emerde. A --pasive option was added to auto-install.sh to select FTP passive mode. /etc/init.d/runscript.sh is no longer launched from rc.emerde.


Release Notes: A MIRROR option was added in auto-install.sh. A name bug was fixed in por2pkg and in --maketgz. An rsync installation bug and other small bugs were fixed and the code was cleaned up.


Release Notes: Updated to portage 2.0.51-r3, fixed a small bug in rsync_url, and cleaned up the code.


Release Notes: Portage was updated to the 2.0.50-r9 version. Semerde.stop was created. It is launched at runlevel 0 and 6 to shut down all the programs started by rc.emerde at boot time. An RSYNC_URL option has been added to the installation procedure. It permits downloading the portage from another machine. The syncing of the portage can be done using another machine that has already done it. pkg2por is more accurate: if it doesn't find the right version ebuild, it downloads it. --upgradepkg was added to emerde. With this option, all the installpkg operations will use upgradepkg instead.


Release Notes: The --searchinstalled option was added, which only filters installed packages in the search result. A --showdepend option was added, which shows the dependencies of the searched package. --fclean was added, forcing the cleaning of the compilation's directory. This is useful to restart an interrupted compilation instead of continuing it. This release also fixes an installation bug caused by --noslack. Various bugfixes and code cleanups were also made.


Release Notes: An mtime bug in pkg2por where packages installed with installpkg weren't really unmerged was fixed. A --showcontents option that shows the contents of the searched package was added, and portage.py was updated to version 2.0.50-r6. A Slack-etc-update tool that handles the Slackware configuration file updates was created, and a --maketgzcont option that creates TGZ packages from packages already installed was added. An uninstall-emerde script was created and the --jailed mode was improved. The program is now crux compatible and can coordinate the crux's DB with the portage. Various bugs were fixed.


Release Notes: The invulnerable script was created. This script updates all the packages which have suid binaries. The gcc version check was fixed. A small bug in install-complete.sh was fixed to deal with the fact that /usr/bin/line isn't present in all distributions.


Release Notes: /sbin/depscan.sh has been added to fix boot script dependencies. You must have gawk installed. initd-cfg has been improved: the user can activate/deactivate all the scripts in /etc/init.d/ with a single choice. rc.emerde now executes the "start", "stop", and "restart" requests. An rc.emerde.1 man page has been added.
