Re: pkg_dry on DragonFlyBSD

[Antonio Huete Jimenez <ahuete.devel@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I've updated getpkgdry.sh script so it can handle the last CVS version 
of pkg_dry. Get it here:
http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~tuxillo/archive/getpkgdry.sh

You are encouraged to updated to the latest version as there have been 
many changes, features included, bug fixes and improvements over the 
previous versions.

You can get more information about pkg_dry usage here: 
http://imil.net/pkgdry/

Note: Please, delete your old database (rm -f /var/db/pkg_dry/*.db) and 
file ddb_create.h (rm -fr $HOME/pkg_dry/ddb_create.h) before running the 
new script, because there have been changes on the DB structure.
