Hi, Ive decided to integrate the current devel sorcery into test sorcery
as 1.11.0-rc1. This test release will be indentical (for the time being)
to devel sorcery. The intent is to test the existing improvements that
are going into 1.11 while we work on finishing up the remaining few
issues and feature requests over the coming weeks. Later once those
features are completed we will release 1.11.0-rc2 for testing and eventual
move to stable 1.11.0

This release is a bit rough on the edges in that the configuration has
been split and not all the lose ends have been tied up, this is a known
issue and will be dealt with before the big stable release (so dont
worry). You are of course under no obligation to use test sorcery if
this affects and you dont feel like dealing with it.

Anyways, enjoy. Heres a changelog.

2004-08-21 Karsten Behrmann <BearPerson AT gmx.net>
        * build_api/api2: Fix bug 7264, PRE_BUILD now has its output not
          redirected (behavior from api1)

2004-08-18 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * etc/sorcery/roots,state, libcrossinstall: Fix bug 4534, you can now
          specify through the install root menu where cache files get stored.

2004-08-13 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * gaze: add a parameter to view the activity log

2004-08-13 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libcast: fix resurrect to at least respect INSTALL_ROOT
          still need to make fixing code respect it.

2004-08-12 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libdownload: Small fix to only look at mirror files that really
          truely contain mirrors for the url we are expanding

2004-08-12 Karsten Behrmann <BearPerson AT gmx.net>
        * cleanse: added a nice summary at the end (bug #749)

2004-08-11 Neuron <vlmarek AT volny.cz>
        * mirrors/SOURCEFORGE: Added some mirrors, thanks Ruskie !

2004-08-10 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * liburl: Fix a missing call to iterator which in its absence
          made url_rank do nothing (and I just thought it was faster!).
        * mirrors/SOURCEFORGE: Remove some trailing "/"s that I missed.

2004-08-10 Karsten Behrmann <BearPerson AT gmx.net>
        * cast: added a -V option to override VOYEUR (bug #4623),
          fixed a typo in process_parameters()

2004-08-09 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * gaze: fix bug 7166, gaze now handles providers and does not
          incorrectly list them as orphans. The running time appears to
          be about 3 times faster too.

2004-08-07 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * sorcery, libsorcery: Fix some menu's to modify different local
          config files now that we've split the config files up. This fixes
          the problem of not using the selected mirror.

2004-08-07 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * cast: If after finishing dependency resolution there are no spells
          to cast (e.g. they were all z-rejected and the user rejected them)
          print a message and exit 1.
        * libdepends: Add spell to the cannot cast hash when it fails
          somewhere in dependency resolution.

2004-08-06 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * gaze: fix bug 5525, gaze compile now supports an optional version
          parameter.

2004-08-06 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * dispel, libdispel: Move numerous dispel functions into a library
        * dispel: Fix numerous obvious flaws in the downgrade function
        * dispel: Non-zero exit status on failure.
        * build_api/api2: turn on installwatch at INSTALL, not BUILD
        * cast, build_api/common, libgrimoire, libinitd, libmisc, libcodex,
          libtrack, scribe, dispel, libdispel, alter: adjust INSTALL_ROOT code
          to new model.
        * /etc/sorcery/config, state, media, url, roots: split configuration
          into more files to be more confusing.
        * libgraph: delete
        * cast: remove unused current_sources function (was used before
          libdownload re-write)
        * summon, sorcery, config: remove xdelta code
        * libsorcery: remove dl_source, get as they've been depreciated also
          remove testpack which is only called by get and no one missed it.
        * scribe: update to use download_files instead of url_download, since
          download_files is the prefered frontend for all downloading.
        * libdepends: fiddle with private_run_depends error handling
        * libgrimoire: format warn_rejected and ask_continue_with_rejected
          and remove useless cats and message calls in favor of a few,
          properly quoted message calls.
        * libgrimoire: ask_continue_with_rejected remove poor attempt at
          dealing with the choice to not continue. Instead return 1 like
          a well behaved function and dont mess with libdepends.
        * libdownload: beta mirror expanding code, as requested by ruskie
        * liburl, url_handlers/*: take advantage of parallelism when
          netselecting if possible. This is a necessary compliment to the
          url expanding code in libdownload, which may generate over 200 urls.
        * /etc/sorcery/mirrors/*: remove trailing / from some mirror names
        * install: now takes an optional parameter as to where it should
          install to.
        * /etc/sorcery/update/...: remove, sorcery is not a spell
        * libmisc: fix progress spinner for bash 3.0
        * libstate: fix obviously broken remove_spell function
        * sorcery, libcrossinstall: Add a new and simple menu for
          selecting of install/track/state root.
        * libcrossinstall: Remove invoke_cross_environment since we no longer
          copy everything all over the place for no apparent reason. Rename
          and modify the routine to install sorcery somewhere else, instead
          use the install script included with the sorcery distribution.

2004-08-06 Neuron <vlmarek AT volny.cz>
        * libdownload: fixed in order to make it work again (bug 7214), some
          small indenting too

2004-08-05 Paul Mahon <pmahon AT sourcemage.org>
        * gaze: Fix for displaying some sorcery text files
        * liblock: Have liblock notice when disks get full and commits fail
        * cleanse: Make cleanse know about provider switching

2004-08-04 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * cast: add redirection of stderr back to pass_three's summon
          call, otherwise download progress from wget is not logged.
          Will fix the url handlers later.
        * libdownload: pushd/popd to /tmp for downloading until
          the url handlers can figure out where to download things

2004-08-03 Seth Woolley <seth AT tautology.org>
        * build_api/api1: move the logging to around the build so that
          custom builds get logged too.

2004-08-02 Seth Woolley <seth AT tautology.org>
        * build_api/{api1,api2,common}, alter, libsorcery, libcast:
          use process substitution instead of named fifo for compile logging.
        * build_api/{api2,common}: make the config_loc function run outside of
          the compile log pipeline.
        * archspecs/amd64/x86_{32,64}: -march=k8 instead of xp

2004-08-01 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * build_api/api1, build_api/api2: fix enhancement to not
          forget BUILD/INSTALL failures (oops)

2004-08-01 Neuron <vlmarek AT volny.cz>
        * libdownload: check for pon before using it (bug 7196)

2004-08-01 Neuron <vlmarek AT volny.cz>
        * cast, api1, api2: removed 2>&1 pipe redirection to make SUPER_DEBUG
          work again

2004-08-01 Neuron <vlmarek AT volny.cz>
        * libaccount: Improved create_account to use parameter instedad of
          $SECONDARY_GIDS (bug 7190)
        * libaccount: indented function create_account
        * libaccount: added function sanity_checks to prevend ID clashing

2004-08-01 Neuron <vlmarek AT volny.cz>
        * libcast: `ls | grep -v` -> `find ...`
        * libcast: fixed if .. then .. else, initd scripts should be installed
          without warning now
        * libcast: fixed debugging calls referring to wrong fucntion

2004-07-29 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * build_api/api1, build_api/api2: fix yesterdays enhancement to not
          overwrite the compile log (oops)

2004-07-28 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * build_api/api1, build_api/api2: Add a timestamp for when
          building/installing completes (bug 7136).

2004-07-27 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * url_http: Remove useless eval from url_http_call_wget

2004-07-27 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * cleanse: Move clean_logs into cleanse as a --log option, bug 7171

2004-07-23 Arwed v. Merkatz <v.merkatz AT gmx.net>
        * url_cvs: made it work with both cvs and gcvs (bug #7107)

2004-07-22 Neuron <vlmarek AT volny.cz>
        * libmisc: fix for list_remove, thanks Richard !
        * libmisc: fix for config_query_option to work for cast -r, and also
          modified it's output to show [y|n] instead of selected option

2004-07-20 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * cleanse: Incorporate the --fix rewrite. Most of this work
          as done by Paul. I just tied things together :) Also changed
          indentation to two spaces because I felt like it.
          These changes should also take care of the last of the "filenames
          with spaces" problems.

2004-07-14 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libdownload: make FALL_BACKS url list local, this caused a rather
          annoying problem where SOURCE downloads from fallback, then SOURCE2
          also needs to download from fallback, but ends up re-downloading
          SOURCE. The variable should have been set to local. Thanks 
alley_cat!

2004-07-13 Seth Woolley <seth AT tautology.org>
        * libcast: default non-essential init scripts to not be enabled by
          default.  They are still installed.

2004-07-10 Seth Woolley <seth AT tautology.org>
        * cast, sorcery: run /tmp scripts with bash directly.
          This enables one to mount -o remount,noexec /tmp or set the
          noexec option in fstab for /tmp.

2004-07-06 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libtrack: fix tabs in OMIT_IN variable inside parse_iw, this was
          causing spells which made symlinks to own the files they were
          symlinking too. In the case of init.d this was /bin/true.
        * protected: add /bin/true

2004-07-02 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libmisc: fix config_query to really return 0 in all cases

2004-07-01 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * cast: move declaration of OPTS above where we source SPELL_CONFIG
          otherwise we lose all changes to the variable from SPELL_CONFIG

2004-06-29 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * dispel: missed an api update to remove_depends_status
        * libmisc: fix config_get_option, left out $PERSISTENT_VARIABLES
          to the real_list_find call (doh! thanks alley_cat)

2004-06-29 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * libapi: fix debug calls to call debug properly
        * summon, libsummon: split summon code into a library so
          cast can download things directly rather than calling summon
        * install: install out of a svn sandbox without copying .svn files
        * build: WIP build script for rolling a sorcery release tarball
        * cast: remove some unused functions, better tmp file directory 
support
          cleanup at the right point, remove TEMPORARY HACK.
          Add an experimental optional rule to the makefile in order to
          get rid of the make dependency dropping and bailing out issue
        * libcast, cast: individual spell download logs (rather than
          dumping the entire log over and over again)
        * build_api/common, cast: move some code in cast_spell to the 
build_api
        * libdepends: add a big demystifying comment and re-arrange some
          functions to hopefully be in a more logical arrangement (to
          me at least). Change the algorithm used to not re-evaluate a spell.
        * cast, libdepends: add flag to recast spells that are depended on
          and already installed, but not specifed on the command line.
        * libstate, libdepends, sorcery/config: don't commit depends
          until cast actually succeeds, change libstate calls to require
          a depends file to look at rather than assumming DEPENDS_STATUS,
          add config file variables for uncommitted and abandoned depends
        * libhash: add hash_append and hash_debug_dump functions

2004-06-24 Eric Sandall <eric AT sandall.us>
        * sorcery:optimization_menu():
          Added prelink compile-time menu option for alter
          Sorted compile-time options alphabetically
          Add what flags are added to HELP
          Reworded HELPs to fit 80 columns
        * libsorcery:optimize(): unset alphabetically ;)
          Add COMBRELOC and PRELINK to be unset
          Add prelink to PARAM case statement, sort alphabetically

2004-06-23 Seth Woolley <seth AT tautology.org>
        * alter: modified to respect ARCHIVE=off for undo caches in
          md5mend.  Now it should allow you to do any alter on systems
          with almost no disk space needed with ARCHIVE=off.

2004-06-21 Seth Woolley <seth AT tautology.org>
        * alter: added, need to write man page, but until then, alter -h
          --help as well as --about
          changed around the interface a bit and added strip and strip-all.
          more FAQ entries.  Close to feature complete?

2004-06-19 Jason Flatt <jflatt AT sourcemage.org>
        * scribe: Modified usage text for remove and reindex to reflect actual
          operation of script.

2004-06-19 Neuron <vlmarek AT volny.cz>
        * libapi, libmisc: added persistent_clear function which unsets.
        * libcodex: persistent variables loaded before DETAILS are destroyed
          by persistent_clear instead by persistent_save

2004-06-18 Arwed v. Merkatz <v.merkatz AT gmx.net>
        * libdepends: fix assumption that a depends line would always exist
          in work_optional_depends_provider which caused /all/ depends entries
          for the spell in question to be removed (oops, thanks alley_cat).

2004-06-18 Arwed v. Merkatz <v.merkatz AT gmx.net>
        * libcodex: DETAILS now also uses persistence
        * libmisc: unset all persistent variables and PERSISTENT_VARIABLES on
          persistent_save

2004-06-18 Neuron <vlmarek AT volny.cz>
        * libmisc, libapi: fixed wrong commend about returning values

2004-06-18 Neuron <vlmarek AT volny.cz>
        * libdepends: PREPARE now also uses persistence

2004-06-17 Paul Mahon <pmahon AT sourcemage.org>
        * libdepends: fix assumption that a depends line would always exist
          in work_depends_provider which caused /all/ depends entries for
          the spell in question to be removed (oops, thanks alley_cat).

2004-06-10 Paul Mahon <pmahon AT sourcemage.org>
        * Fix removal count in prune() if there is nothing to remove

2004-06-09 Paul Mahon <pmahon AT sourcemage.org>

        * gaze: Put in temporary quick fixes for gaze voyeur to work again
          (bug 1451)

2004-06-05 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * gaze: Adding support for build api 2 file viewing (INSTALL/FINAL)

2004-06-05 Paul Mahon <pmahon AT sourcemage.org>
        * Asks before deleting cache and spool files (bug #6931)

2004-06-05 Paul Mahon <pmahon AT sourcemage.org>
        * Fixes for cleanse bugs #6933 and #6903, parameter parsing mostly

2004-06-02 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * sorcery, gaze: Move show-held out of sorcery and into gaze

2004-06-01 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * sorcery: Add option to choose test or custom sorcery release
        * libcast, build_api/common: make sure we get rid of C_LOG and C_FIFO
          in all cases

2004-06-01 Eric Schabell <eschabell AT sourcemage.org>
        * libsorcery: sound off option no longer exits, bug #6940.

2004-06-01 Neuron <vlmarek AT volny.cz>
        * scribe: reindented

2004-05-31 Andrew Stitt <astitt AT sourcemage.org>
        * liburl, url_handlers: Reworked the way netselect works, not quite
          ideal yet, but at least it will rank everything. More work later...
        * libdownload, libsorcery: Moved download related code to libdownload
          and rewrote most of the code such that now there should be a better
          interface to the download process any of the scripts could use.
          Also made update_sorcery use this new interface.
        * libcodex: ignore the output from a popd in codex_set_grimoire.
        * summon: Fixed to use new interface and to support printing of
          source and urls. Also added a "raw" mode to re-read output from
          print mode. Depreciated xdelta functionality.
        * gaze: Make gaze use some of the same functions that summon's
          --print feature uses for the "sources" and new "source_urls"
          option.
