I was a bit confused; the ones that need to be reinstalled are the ones which pkg_info does *not* complain about. So now the daily/490.status-pkg-changes script will complain about all of them :-) Consistency is good. > If you are a portmaster user be aware that it does store various bits to > do with managing distfiles in /var/db/pkg/pkgname-ver/ subdirectories. > These shouldn't be confused with old style pkg_install metadata -- the > distinguishing feature is if they contain a +CONTENTS file. > > As to why pkg2ng doesn't disable pkg_install related periodic jobs -- > pretty much because no one has implemented that. pkg comes with it's own > set of periodic job scripts which should give you the equivalent set of > reports via the pkg local database, so all we'd need to do is turn off > any old pkg_install script and turn on the pkg equivalent. > > I've just created a new issue on github for that: > > https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/issues/599 > > Patches -- or even better, pull requests -- are welcome. Thanks for the clarification. Bit of a delay responding because something's screwed up with my mail service. It's been a while since I converted, so I'm fuzzy on what pkg2ng actually did. However, $ which pkg /usr/sbin/pkg $ pkg info pkg pkg-1.1.4_6 $ pkg which /usr/sbin/pkg /usr/sbin/pkg was not found in the database I was trying to find the set of pkg's own periodic job scripts but I don't see them, and I'm not really sure what to look for. I tried grepping for similarly numbered "490.status" and similarly named "status-pkg-changes" and came up empty, although I see the file 490.status-pkg-changes.in in the distfile. Questions: 1. Is there some reason "pkg which" doesn't find itself? 2. Where is pkg supposed to install its "own set of periodic job scripts" and what do the names look like? 3. After reinstalling the ports reported by pkg_info as ok, one of them, x11-toolkits/wxgtk28 reinstalls fine but when done /var/db/pkg/wxgtk2-2.8.12_2 still contains "old format" files: -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 45 Aug 26 22:43 +COMMENT -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 3609 Aug 26 22:43 +CONTENTS -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 178 Aug 26 22:43 +DESC -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 17553 Aug 26 22:43 +MTREE_DIRS -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 137 Sep 30 13:54 distfiles Is it safe to simply delete the first four? Wasn't sure whether to file a bug on this or not, so I haven't.
