XBPS 0.5.1 released!

Today I had to release the XBPS utilities version 0.5.1 to fix a bug that caused some errors in packages using 'epoch' in its version string. The release plan used in XBPS is a time based release, a new version every 2 months of development.

XBPS 0.5.1 - Released May 11, 2010

  • Fixed build issues in RHEL5, Ubuntu and others distributions.
  • libxbps: changed the epoch component in version strings to the ':' character to be differentiated from '-' in pkgname, and '_' in revision.
  • xbps-bin(8): added a new target 'show-orphans' that lists all orphaned packages currently installed.
  • Removed asciidoc build dependency, simply use the troff manpages.
