Information for pkg_chk-1.59:

Comment:
Check installed package versions against pkgsrc

Description:
pkg_chk verifies that the versions of installed packages matches those in
pkgsrc, optionally adding missing or updating mismatched packages.

It can verify all installed packages, or check against a set of packages
based on the hostname, architecture, and other characteristics.

>Description:

"pkg_chk" will now longer fetch distfiles for packages which need to
be updated:

tron@colwyn:/usr/pkgsrc/net/samba>pkg_chk -i -f
[...]
samba-3.0.14anb1: version mismatch - samba-3.0.10nb2
[...]
[ Fetch ]
tron@colwyn:/usr/pkgsrc/net/samba>make fetch
===> Checking for vulnerabilities in samba-3.0.14anb1
=> samba-3.0.14a.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist on this system.
=> Attempting to fetch samba-3.0.14a.tar.gz from ftp://ftp.uk.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/distfiles/.
