Project Description

The X Binary Package System (in short XBPS) is a binary package system designed and implemented from scratch. Its goal is to be fast, easy to use, bug-free, featureful, and portable as much as possible. There is a well documented API provided by the XBPS Library that is the basis for its frontends, to handle binary packages and repositories.

0.7.3

This release fixes a bug that made libxbps fail to detect properly configuration files. This caused all updates in configuration files to be lost. It is now possible to properly build against an external portable proplib (with pkg-config support) and libfetch. Several compiler warnings have been enabled in the configure script (if supported by the compiler), and symbol visibility has been made dependent on configure tests. A --silent argument has been added to the configure script, hiding compilation details in the build process (disabled by default).
