Hi.
After a long time when a new employment and real life(c) having eaten
all my time, a new version of portupgrade was released.
The modifying _all_ packages +CONTENTS bug still present in this version
(as in stable too):
---> Updating dependency info
---> Modifying /var/db/pkg/GeoIP-1.4.4/+CONTENTS
....
---> Modifying /var/db/pkg/xxkb-1.11/+CONTENTS
---> Modifying /var/db/pkg/zidrav-1.2.0/+CONTENTS
---> Modifying /var/db/pkg/zip-2.32/+CONTENTS
Additional note: modification of /var/db/pkg/*/+CONTENTS (or any
non-trivial subset of it) is quite dangerous. Once, I had a machine
paniced during portupgrade doing the pass of +CONTENTS files, and
due to SU, lost almost all of them. It would be helpful if +CONTENTS
file were backed up (e.g., moved to +CONTENTS.bak) instead of removed and
created.
portupgrade copy a work file in temp one, and move back with changes.
I'm not sure /var/db/pkg/*/ is a good place for backups.
