Update pkg to 1.4.0

Description

Update pkg to 1.4.0
Update pkg-devel to 1.4.99.0 (aka 1.5 pre-alpha0)
Changes since pkg 1.3.0:
Changes you can expect in pkg 1.4 are the following:

  • Loads of bug fixes
  • Stricter checking of the path passed via the plist
  • Removal of the bundled libyaml
  • new --raw-format to chose the output format for info -R and search -R
  • ABI (for freebsd, unchanged for dragonfly) is now follwing MACHINE_ARCH (freebsd:10:x86:64 become FreeBSD:10:amd64) the old ABI is available as a fallback in ALTABI
  • pkg check now support a quiet mode
  • new 3 way merge code ("stolen" from the fossil-scm) to allow automerging

configuration files

  • new @config keyword to mark a file as a config file (during upgrade/reinstallation it will try to merge the configuration with the one the user may have modified) an option AUTOMERGE is available to prevent automerging if automerge fails a .pkgnew file will be created along with the untouched user version of the configuration
  • The update procedure has been improved and speed up a lot (in particular for machine with low resources)
  • The unique identifier has been modified to be pkgname meaning now ports can be moved in new categories without having to be considered a different package
  • Only libraries starting by lib* are added to the provided libraries
  • General speed up of all operations
  • pkg set gain a -n option (equivalent to -o but works on name rather than origin)
  • pkg set -o now considered deprecated
  • pkg version accept '?' and '!' in pkg version limchar
