  • Date: Sat, 29 May 2004 10:24:10 -0700

The much anticipated Sorcery 1.10.0 has been released.

Some of the new features are a new tool "cleanse", full depends ordering,
build split changes, addition of persistant variables between spell
files, local grimoire support in scribe, the addition of a "FUNCTIONS"
file to override certain sorcery functions in a grimoire, and a
significant speed improvement to our internal hash table library.

Enjoy!

Due to some issues with full depends resolution it is necessary to
run at least a portion of the cleanse process first. Otherwise if a
holey depends tree exists the ordering may bail out of cast with a
rather obscure error. A temporary hack has been put in place to prompt
the user about running cleanse. This will go away for the next major
release.

Here is the complete changelog from 1.8 to current. The 1.9.x series
seems to have had only a portion of the code transfered.


2004-05-28 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
* Sorcery Release 1.10.0

2004-05-28 Paul Mahon <pmahon AT sourcemage.org>
* Nasty hack to force cleanse to run first time cast is run

2004-05-25 Neuron <vlmarek AT volny.cz>
* libstate: bug #6898

2004-05-25 Neuron <vlmarek AT volny.cz>
* libmisc: More robust handling of missing config files
* libmisc: some \t changed to spaces

2004-05-24 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
* libsorcery excluded: revert Casey Harkins, blind removal of
the "files", "directories" and "symlinks" functions (change 34187).

2004-05-21 Eric Schabell <eschabell AT sourcemage.org>
* libcrossinstall: /tmp and /var/tmp given proper permissions,
bug #6891.

2004-05-23 Neuron <vlmarek AT volny.cz>
* config_query_* functions now respects reconfigure option for cast

2004-05-23 Neuron <vlmarek AT volny.cz>
* cosmetic fix for libmisc/config_get_option

2004-05-21 Eric Schabell <eschabell AT sourcemage.org>
* archspecs/amd64: added two versions for AMD64 specs, one
is for -m64 and one is for 32 bit with -m32, bug #5487.
* libcrossinstall, sorcery: added menu to libcrossinstall for
user menu to set install root as he/she pleases, bug #4933.
* sorcery: rigorous testing with help from sandall produced
a need to reset install_root when turning off cross install.

2004-05-19 Neuron <vlmarek AT volny.cz>
* libhash: Applied Afrayedknot's hint on speeding up things,
version 2 :)

2004-05-18 Casey Harkins <charkins AT pobox.com>
* libsorcery: modified filter() to accept patterns, bug #6423
* excluded: added /lib/modules/*/modules.*, bugs #6423, #6331

2004-05-18 Neuron <vlmarek AT volny.cz>
* libhash: reverted for now

2004-05-18 Neuron <vlmarek AT volny.cz>
* libhash: Applied Afrayedknot's hint on speeding up things,
which gives us nice -1s per cast

2004-05-17 Eric Schabell <eschabell AT sourcemage.org>
* subroutines: added fix from alley_cat to make it "ls"
anything independent.
* libstate: fixed problem with libstate.modify_local_config()
not passing more than one arg to be set with variable, thanks
to CuZnDragon for pointing out the problem. I am not sure how
this came to be... what has changed that might cause this? Or
was this around longer and just unnoticed?

2004-05-17 Neuron <vlmarek AT volny.cz>
* subroutines: Fixed 'ls' -> 'ls --color=no'

2004-05-15 Seth Woolley <seth AT tautology.org>
* libdepends: rycee's fix for uninstalled providers

2004-05-08 Paul Mahon <pmahon AT sourcemage.org>
* Fix for prune in cleanse

2004-05-06 Eric Schabell <eschabell AT sourcemage.org>
* libdepends: slight adjustment to get the fix from yesterday
to actually cast the spells chosen, fixes bug #6831.
* groups, accounts: added scanlogd:126:126, fixes bug #6745.

2004-05-05 Eric Schabell <eschabell AT sourcemage.org>
* sorcery: added a one line check for empty sections
when trying to display menu, fixes bug #6829.
* libsorcery: removed a basename cut show path where
the 'provider' listings is coming from (which grimoire),
fixes bug #6831 (might want to beautify this later?).
* libsorcery, libdepends: changed the previous fix to show
only the basename and also the version number, fixes #6831.

2004-04-03 Seth Woolley <seth AT tautology.org>
* libdepends: spelling corrections.

2004-04-30 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
* cast, libdepends: Fixed the private_compute_installed_depends
function. The function was failing to properly create a depends
tree, and was taking too long to run. It now correctly builds the
dependency tree out of installed spells and, most of the processing
is now internal to awk, and thus much faster. One libhash operation
per installed spell in contrast to three or more depending on the
size, and amount of lint in the depends file.

2004-04-26 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
* libcast: add ability to override functions in the build pipeline
with
a FUNCTIONS file in a grimoire or section, and the USE_FUNCTIONS
variable in DETAILS to control it.

2004-04-22 Neuron <vlmarek AT volny.cz>
* Fixed 'empty string' warnings for cast -fix (Bug 6771)

2004-04-21 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
* libsorcery, libgrimoire, libtrack, libaccount, libstate:
Move some functions around to hopefully more intuitive places
in an effort to make sorcery more modular and understandable.
Hopefully these efforts will make sorcery calls less of a web
structure.

2004-04-20 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
* build_api/api1 build_api/api2: Add return values to run_build_spell
so that the caller can do special stuff this may end up just getting
passed back to the success/fail api specific function instead. Fixes
issues with compile log generation after aborts from bad md5s during
unpack.

2004-04-19 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
* Adding code for build split. Major changes to cast, libsorcery,
libgrimoire libcodex and libapi. Addition of
/var/lib/sorcery/modules/build_api directory and the files api1
api2 and common to it.

2004-04-18 Eric Schabell <eschabell AT sourcemage.org>
* install: added sorcery library removal before installing
new version, should prevent problems in the future.

* libsorcery: removed pre-cleanse code for cleaning stale depneds,
part of bug #6534.

2004-04-13 hgg <hgreig AT bigpond.net.au>
* libcrossinstall: adding /var/spool/mail to list of dirs to be made
* Scribe,libcodex: make scribe work with INSTALL_ROOT, adding multiple
grimoires not working yet, but "CROSS_INSTALL=on scribe add stable"
works fine.

2004-04-12 Paul Mahon <pmahon AT sourcemage.org>
* Addition of cleanse script and man page

2004-04-10 Eric Schabell <eschabell AT sourcemage.org>
