The -j/--jobs option was also added to allow controlling the amount of processes used when scanning, by default it's set to the number of CPUs the target system has.
  • pkgcheck cache: Add initial cache subcommand to support updating/removing caches used by pkgcheck. This allows users to forcibly update/remove caches when they want instead of pkgcheck only handling the process internally during the scanning process.
  • Add specific result keywords for metadata issues relating to various package attributes instead of using the generic MetadataError for all of them.
  • Drop check for PortageInternals as the last usage was dropped from the tree.
  • Add EmptyCategoryDir and EmptyPackageDir results to warn when the gentoo repo has empty category or package directories that people removing packages forgot to handle.

pkgcheck 0.6.0 (2019-08-23)

  • Profile data is now cached on a per repo basis in ~/.cache/pkgcore/pkgcheck (or wherever the related XDG cache environment variables point) to speed up singular package scans. These caches are checked and verified for staleness on each run and are enabled by default.

    To forcibly disable profile caches include --profile-cache n or similar as arguments to pkgcheck scan.

  • When running against a git repo, the historical package removals and additions are scanned from git log and used to populate virtual repos that enable proper stable request checks and nonexistent/outdated blocker checks. Note that initial runs where these repos are being built from scratch can take a minute or more depending on the system; however, subsequent runs shouldn't take much time to update the cached repos.

    To disable git support entirely include --git-disable y or similar as arguments to pkgcheck scan.

  • zshcomp: Add initial support for keyword, check, and reporter completion.

  • Add 'errors' and 'warnings' aliases for the -k/--keywords option, e.g. if you only want to scan for errors use the following: pkgcheck -k errors
  • Fallback to the default repo if not running with a configured repo and one wasn't specified.

  • Add support for checking REQUIRED_USE for validity.
  • Drop -o/--overlayed-repo support and rely on properly configured masters.
  • Add UnknownLicenses report for unknown licenses listed in license groups.
  • Add support for running checks of a certain scope using -S/--scopes, e.g. to run all repo scope checks on the gentoo repo use the following command: pkgcheck -r gentoo -S repo

The keywords stable, dev, and exp that related to the sets of stable, development, and experimental profiles from the targetted repo can also be used as --profiles arguments.

    For example, to scan all stable profiles use the following:

    pkgcheck -p stable

  • visibility scans now use 22% less memory (around 130MB on python2.6 x86_64) and is about 3% faster.

pkgcore-checks 0.4.11 (2009-12-20)

  • minor speedup in visibility scans- about 3% faster now.
  • fix a traceback in deprecated from when portage writes the ebuild cache out w/out any _eclasses_ entry.
  • fix a rare traceback in visibility scans where a virtual metapkg has zero matches.

pkgcore-checks 0.4.10 (2009-12-14)

  • fix a bug where use deps on metapkgs was invalidly being flagged.

pkgcore-checks 0.4.9 (2009-11-26)

  • fix a bug in test running- bzr_verinfo isn't generated for pkgcore-checks in sdist (no need), yet build_py was trying to regenerate it. Basically broke installation on machines that lacked bzr.

pkgcore-checks 0.4.8 (2009-11-26)

  • experimental py3k support.
  • test runner improvements via depending on snakeoil.distutils_extensions.

pkgcore-checks 0.4.7 (2009-10-26)

  • fix invalid flagging of use deps on PyQt4 for ia64; basically PyQt4[webkit] is valid due to a pkg level masked use reversal... the checking code however wasn't doing incremental expansion itself.. Same could occur for forced use.

pkgcore-checks 0.4.6 (2009-10-22)

  • fix a bug in tristate use evaluation of potential USE combinations. Roughly, if a flag is masked and forced, the result is it's masked.
  • compatibility fixes for pkgcore 0.5; 0.5 isn't required, but advised.

pkgcore-checks 0.4.5 (2008-11-07)

  • verify whether or not a requested use state is actually viable when profile masking/forcing is taken into account.

pkgcore-checks 0.4.4 (2008-10-21)

  • EAPI2 support for checking use/transitive use deps.
  • ticket 216; basically portage doesn't always write out _eclasses_ entries in the cache- if they're empty, it won't. pkgcore-checks visibility vcs eclass tests assumed otherwise- this is now fixed.
  • pcheck now only outputs the number of tests it's running if --debug is enabled.

pkgcore-checks 0.4.3 (2008-03-18)

  • ticket 8; false positive unused global USE flags due to not stripping '+-' from iuse defaults.
  • ticket 7: tune down metadata xml checks verbosity.
  • dropped ModularXPortingReport; no longer needed.

pkgcore-checks 0.4.2 (2007-12-15)

  • minor release to be EAPI=1 compatible wrt IUSE defaults

pkgcore-checks 0.4.1 (2007-07-16)

  • fixed ticket 90; NonExistantDeps occasionally wouldn't report later versions of an offender.
  • --disable-arches option; way to specifically disable an arch (blacklisting) instead of having to specify all arches.

pkgcore-checks 0.4 (2007-06-06)

  • update to use snakeoil api.
  • Add check to metadata_check.DependencyReport for self-blocking atoms; for example, if dev-util/diffball RDEPEND has !dev-util/diffball.
  • ticket 82; Fix BadProto result object so it has proper threshold.
  • Fix class serialization bug in RestrictsReport.
  • profile loadup optimization; pkgcore weakly caches the intermediate nodes, pcheck's profile loadup however specifically released the profiles every looping; now it temporarily holds onto it, thus allowing the caching to kick in. Among other things, cuts file reads down from 1800 to around around 146.

pkgcore-checks 0.3.5

  • addition of __attrs__ to base.Result classes; use this if __slots__ doesn't suffice for listing the attrs to pickle.
  • Thanks to Michael Sterret for pointing it out; tweak cleanup scan so that it notes 1.12 overshadows 1.11 (stable keywords overshadow earlier unstable versions): for example- 1.11: ~x86 ~amd64 1.12: x86 ~amd64

pkgcore-checks 0.3.4

  • treat pkg.restrict as a depset.

pkgcore-checks 0.3.3

  • drop digest specific checks; portage now prunes digests on sync regardless of whether or not the repo is m2 pure; thus, no way to detect if a missing digest is actually a screwup in the repo, or if it's portage being 'special'. May re-add the checks down the line, currently however removing them for the common case.
  • back down check for files directory if manifest2; manifest2 glep didn't specify that files directory could be dropped, but portage has deviated there. Since been backed down, but getting ahead so we don't need an intermediate release when they try it again.
  • added check for missing metadata.xml; refactored common error class selection logic into base class.

pkgcore-checks 0.3.2

  • correct tracebacks when dealing with a few result objects from repo_metadata

pkgcore-checks 0.3.1

  • makes StaleUnstable abide by --arches; ticket 59 (thanks leio).
  • stop complaining about empty keywords, since they're now allowed instead of using -*.

pkgcore-checks 0.3

  • heavy refactoring of reporter subsystem, and clean up of check results. Better messages, better output for normal usage. to_xml() methods were dropped (XmlReporter handles it on it's own), same for to_str() in favor of short_desc and long_desc attributes.
  • whitespace checks now output one result for each classification for an ebuild, instead of emitting reports for each line.
  • all remaining 'info' statements are pushed to stderr now.
  • new PickleStream reporter; used to serialize check results, and flush the stream out stdout. If you need to get at the data generated, this is the sanest way to do it (alternatives require trying to deserialize what a reporter does, thus losing data).
  • added new tool replay-pcheck-stream; used to replay a pickle stream through alternative reporters.

pkgcore-checks 0.2

  • invocation args have changed- please see readme for details of how to use pcheck.
  • test suite added; not yet complete coverage, but 90% of the way there.
  • --list-checks output format is fair bit more human-readable now.
  • better support for overlays (should work fine with appropriate commandline options supplied)
  • optimizations, and performance regression fixes; fair bit faster then .1.
  • new checks can be added via pkgcore 0.2 plugins cache.
  • UI improvements; color, and human readable output.
  • --xml option was dropped, use --reporter to specify the desired reporter, and --list-reporters to see what reporters are available
  • added --enable, --disable options to prune add/remove specific checks from the run.
  • add config based 'suites' that can be ran; basically, sets of tests/targets to run via pcheck. See README for details.
  • whitespace checks.

pkgcore-checks 0.1

  • inital release
