Paludis 0.74.0 Released
Posted by on April 15, 2012
Paludis 0.74.0 has been released:
- The way || dependencies are handled has changed to allow upgrades in certain situations that would previously be blocked.
- Previously file descriptors would be leaked when adding certain types of files to a tar being created for a pbin. This is now fixed.
- We now strip certain kinds of trailing garbage from tar files, to deal with upstreams who insist upon distributing corrupted tarballs.
- We now define ${T} to something usable in pkg_pretend.
- The order of arguments passed to econf has been tweaked, to make it easier to override defaults.
- cave print-ids etc now have a ‘%u’ format, for a uniquely identifying spec.
- Added cave print-checksum, for convenience.
- We now use metadata/md5-cache if it exists.
- We now ignore self-blockers for Gentoo EAPIs, to avoid problems with developers screwing up package moves.
- Compilation with GCC 4.7 should now work.
