+
+2014 Thu Jul 10
+---------------
+        - Patched to respect the $ROOT environment variable to point to the
+          location to update (like installpkg does), and also to use the
+          $CONF environment variable to point to the slackpkg config file.
+          Thanks to Matteo Bernardini.

+
+2010 Sun Dec 05

+
+2010 Fri Sep 10
+---------------
+	- Change in blacklist function. Using a fresh new one.
+	  Now blacklist is applied in package lists and not package-by-package.
+	  This speeds package list generation and allow the use of regexp
+	  on blacklist file.
+

+	  information.
+					(Reported by Greg and Shuren)

+	  downloaders.
+
+2010 Mon Apr 19
+---------------
+	- Now we can, before install or upgrade a package, verify

+	  of problems.
+		. Added CHECKSIZE on slackpkg.conf
+		. Added CHECKSIZE on slackpkg.conf manpage
+		. Added -checksize on usr/sbin/slackpkg
+		. Added havespace and checksize functions on core-functions.sh

+
+2010 Sun Apr 18
+---------------
+	- Added DIALOG_MAXARGS variable. This is to set the max number of
+	  characters that dialog can handle. If DIALOG_MAXARGS is unset we
+	  use the traditional 19500 characters. Removing hints when
+	  we reach DIALOG_MAXARGS *ISN'T A BUG* is a *FIX*. Without that,
+	  upgrade from slackware-X to slackware-X+1 will be impossible.
+		. Added DIALOG_MAXARGS on slackpkg.conf
+		. Added DIALOG_MAXARGS on slackpkg.conf manpage
+		. Added -dialog_maxargs on usr/sbin/slackpkg
+ 
+2010 Tue Feb 16

+	  Now the list is created very faster than before
+	  				(Thanks Grissiom)
+	- Added spinning bar to sanity-check function
+	  Good to give some feedback to user
+	- Move awk code from cutpkg function to cutpkg.awk

+	- Renamed the "CHECKPKG" variable to "CHECKMD5" (and changed the 
+	  relevant command line options; this is more appropriate for what

+	  easier to tell the difference between it and CHECKGPG at a glance.
+					(Thanks Robby Workman)
+	- Added check to see if slackpkg.conf version matches slackpkg
+	  version.
+	- More changes in install-new's ChangeLog.txt parsing
+
+2009 Sun May 03
+---------------
+	- Added generate-template, remove-template, and install-template 
+	  commands. The first one creates a template with all official 
+	  slackware packages installed in the machine. The template is saved 
+	  in /etc/slackpkg/templates. You can copy this template to other
+	  machines and install it with install-template.
+	- Added a spinning bar to give visual feedback of slackpkg "thinking".
+	- SPINNING is added to slackpkg.conf. It can enable (on) and
+	  disable (off) the spinning bar.
+	- Added USE_INCLUDES to manage whether template includes should be
+	  processed by slackpkg.
+	- ARCH now needs to be in the same format of "uname -m".
+	  slackpkg can change it automagically. If you need to override what 
+	  slackpkg detects, set the variable in slackpkg.conf.
+	- MAIN is now handled internally by slackpkg. You can no longer change
+	  this variable using slackpkg.conf.
+	- PKGMAIN is set by slackpkg to the appropriate value for your 
+	  ARCH port.
+	- SLACKKEY now can be set in slackpkg.conf. Usually slackpkg will 
+	  handle this automagically.
+	- FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH, and FIFTH are replaced by a single 
+	  array: PRIORITY. The contents of those five variables now are 
+	  inside PRIORITY array.
+	- Added support to Slackintosh with the inclusion of "mac" series.
+	- Some changes in install-new's ChangeLog.txt parsing
+	- slackpkg.conf bumped to version 2.8

+
+2009 Sat May 02

+---------------
+	- Released 2.71!
+
+2009 Sat Apr 18
+---------------
+	- Removing source files in md5 package search
+					(Thanks Alan Hicks)
+	- Fixed problem in search function and packages with
+	  letters, _ or . in RELEASE field.
+					(Thanks mrgobling)
+	- Released as 2.71beta5 (i think last one)
+
+2009 Wed Apr 15
+---------------
+	- Fix problem in checking md5 of some packages
+	- Fix pkglist.awk script. The changes to support
+	  tbz, tlz and txz brokes the local package list.
+	- 2.71beta4!! Man, we don't stop!
+
+2009 Fri Apr 10
+---------------
+	- Now use CHECKSUMS.md5 as primary source of package
+	  names.
+	- Check if FILELIST.TXT is newer than last update.
+	  That will prevents you to accidentaly downgrade
+	  your machine using an outdated mirror.
+	- Added a lot of new security checks
+		- check CHECKSUMS.md5 against CHECKSUMS.md5.asc
+		- check FILELIST.TXT against CHECKSUMS.md5
+		- check all downloaded .asc against CHECKSUMS.md5
+			(CHECKSUMS.md5.asc is excluded of this check)
+
+2009 Tue Apr 07
+---------------
+	- Added support to other package extensions.
+	  Now slackpkg can handle tgz, tbz, tlz and txz.
+	  Of course, this depends on pkgtools with the
+	  same capabilities.
+
+2009 Mon Mar 23
+---------------
+	- Put findutils to be upgraded before glibc-solibs.
+	  I think this is wrong. But for some strange reason
+	  findutils brokes if glibc is upgraded first.
+	- Packaged and relased as 2.71beta3 (hope last)
+
+2009 Wed Mar 18
+---------------
+	- Non root users can use "check-updates" command in slackpkg
+	- Show to user if using FILELIST.TXT or CHECKSUMS.md5 as package
+	  lista source.
+	- Added ONLY_NEW_DOTNEW variable to slackpkg configuration file
+	  (and -only_new_dotnew to command line). With that, only the
+	  latest .new files will be checked by post-install function.
+	- Added ONLY_NEW_DOTNEW and PKGMAIN description on slackpkg.conf
+	  man-page.
+	- Added "check-updates" on slackpkg man-page.
+	- Random fixes in both man-pages.
+	- Fix "check-updates" to be used without Slackware Project GPG
+	  Key imported. (thanks guax)

+	  Now you can override slackpkg.conf configurations from
+	  command line:
+
+		slackpkg -checkpkg=off upgrade-all
+
+	  Will disable the checkpkg feature. Many slackpkg.conf
+	  can be overrided using that. You can also specify a
+	  different mirror, using -mirror=URL/
+	- Additional check to see if "which" is there
+	- Added "new-config" option, it will search for .new files
+	  and ask to user what to do with them. (suggested by X-Gizmo)
+
+2008 Wed Jan 07

+	- Bumped the version number to 2.61
+
+2007 Sun May 27
+---------------
+	- Back to the xargs combo in dialog-functions. --file doesn't 
+	  works in slackware 10.1.
+	- Fix some bugs in file list generation. Some declarations
+	  like:
+		local VAR=`something`
+	  doens't works well in older bash (in 10.1). This bug
+	  generates a lot of "dialog" bugs. I hope they are fixed
+	  now.
+	- Better error handling in dialog-functions. Now we can
+	  detect when dialog fails and print one error message. 
+
+2007 Tue May 15
+---------------
+	- Added one / before ${NAMEPKG} in check md5sum. It prevents
+	  a match with vim and vim-gvim (and possible other packages)
+	  and subsequent m5sum errors.
+			 (Reported by Diniz Bortolotto)
+	- Swap some "ls" uses by -e to check if one file exists
+	- Changed the way of error treatment. Now we have:
+		. One log of what package gives error
+		. What error happens in each package
+		. Not install one package if the GPG signature
+		  is OK but md5sum isn't (maybe a corrupted
+		  package?)
+		. Shows all logged errors when slackpkg
+		  ends. 
+
+2007 Tue May 08
+---------------
+	- Correct the release date of 2.52
+	- Change version number to 2.60 instead 2.60beta
+	- Added one tip in slackpkg's man page telling about
+	  slackpkg upgrade slackware
+	- Released slackpkg 2.60!!
+
+2007 Wed May 02
+---------------
+	- Added fontconfig in the hardcoded install-new packages
+	- Make install-new to search only in the main slackware
+	  series. No more /extra and /pasture packages
+	- Changes in dialog functions. To prevent some strange
+	  errors we use grep -m1 to use only the first match
+	  and --file in dialog to prevent bizarre xargs
+	  errors (reported by many)
+	- Fixes in sanity-check function to discover
+	  duplicated packages. (Thanks Sasha Alexandr)
+
+2007 Sat Mar 17
+---------------
+	- Change VERSION to 2.52 instead 2.52beta
+	- Added a test do detect old slackpkg.conf versions
+	- Added hardcoded dialog and aaa_terminfo in install-new
+	- Released slackpkg 2.52!!
+
+2007 Mon Mar 12 
+---------------
+	- Changing NOGPG to CHECKGPG. Is more coherent with the other
+	  options. Thanks Robby to point that.
+	- Many update and grammar fixes in documentation.
+		(Thanks again Robby Workman!)
+
+2007 Mon Jan 05
+---------------
+	- Fix many errors in "install-new". It didn't found any
+	  package with [A-Z] or [0-9] in his names.
+	- Still in "install-new", now we can detect more new packages,
+	  the awk script is a lot better now.
+	- Correct the .tgz parsing in pkglist.awk, using \.tgz instead.
+	- Newer (and i hope, good) man-pages.
+
+2006 Wed Nov 08
+---------------
+	- Fixed the "upgrade" package parsing. It was going wrong
+	  with nn and glib packages.
+		(Reported by Ralph Alvy)
+	- Fixed "reinstall" it was ignoring the blacklist and given
+	  wrong packages to reinstall.
+	- Now blacklist can handle directories beginning with a / and not
+	  with ./ (very better, and this is the needed behavior).
+	- Accept the list of packages from a file
+		(e.g.: slackpkg upgrade /etc/slackpkg/files)
+	  We accept relative (./something, ../something) and absolute 
+	  paths (/something).
+	- Release 2.51beta
+
+2006 Sun Oct 29
+---------------
+	- Fixes to install/upgrade (it was broked when i change the
+	  tmplist). Now it's OK
+	- Fixes in remove and reinstall, they are showing duplicated
+	  entries in the list. Now it's OK
+	- Fix in download... it was total crazy! Now it's OK
+	- Added install-new.awk and improve the ChangeLog.txt parser
+	  now we don't have any package hardcoded.
+	- Fix in upgrade-all to remove the unused variable NAME now we can use
+	  the data in pkglist. 
+	- Minor fix in clean-system.
+	- Change the variable's scope to "local" in many functions
+
+2006 Sat Oct 28
+---------------
+	- Change the tmplist format to be the same as pkglist
+	- New functions to make the package list with that we now can:
+		- Handle multiple files in the command line.
+		  (e.g.: slackpkg upgrade kernel x11 lsof)
+		- Use the package series as the pattern, without the
+		  trailing / hack.
+		  (e.g.: slackpkg remove a)
+		- "download" don't use the blacklist. The user now can
+		  download one blacklisted package.
+	- Release slackpkg 2.5beta
+
+2006 Fri Oct 27
+---------------
+	- A lot of job rebuilding (again) the package parser. This
+	  is the logic that search for apropriate packages and see if
+	  that packages are or not in blacklist. This is the harder
+	  piece of slackpkg development. For now we made:
+		. a new pkglist.awk that creates a really new and
+		  more featureful pkglist. The new slackpkg can't work
+		  anymore with the old pkglist.
+		. One blacklist function that can match: 
+			. directories
+		 	. package-names
+			. package-names with version
+		  	. package-names with version and arch
+			. package-names with version, arch and release.
+		. This fix a problem with some packages being override
+		  by others with "similar" names.
+		  (e.g.: k3b being override by k3b-i18n)
+
+2006 Thu Oct 26
+---------------
+	- Create the WORKDIR variable and put all package and file lists
+	  there. Now ppl that wants to mount / read-only can do that.
+		(Thanks to Trevor Caira)
+	- Added a little bit of sanity in slackpkg.conf. Now all options
+	  uses "on" to be activated and "off" to be deactivated. No more
+	  "1", "0", "On", "ON" and all the chaos that we had before.
+		(Thanks to Robby Workman) 
+	- Added one FIFTH directory. Now people can use /testing as a
+	  repository, too (of course this will break a lot of things)
+	- Added one MAIN variable. This is used instead slackware to
+	  identify the main distro directory.
+	- Move /etc/slackpkg/filelist.awk to /usr/libexec/slackpkg. This
+	  is the correct place to a executable.
+
+2006 Mon Aug 28
+---------------
+	- Fixed a problem with upgrade-all when try to upgrade directly
+	  from 10.2 to 11rc3. xargs can only handle 20k lines.

+
+2004 Fri Oct 29

+	  > lead to bugs
+	- Added aaa_base too...
+
+2004 Mon Apr 05
+---------------

+
+2004 Wed Mar 31

+	- Fixed one bug in "search" (yes, another bug!) (Thanx toledo, again)

+	  more logic, Y or y or <nothing> continues, any other key, quit.
+
+2004 Tue Mar 30

+	  to original. N or n quits, any other key continue

+---------------
+	- Fixed many regex bugs and changes a lot of "greps".

+	- Added sed substitutions to fix problems with + in packagenames
+	- Altered awk script in info case statement to properly format output
+	  when more than one result is returned 
+	- Changed showlist function so that only Y/y will continue, any other
+	  character will cleanup -- safeguards against a wrong key pressed
+			(all these fix cames from mRgOBLIN)
+	- Another feature to "non-root" users... now they can use "info"
+
+2004 Mon Mar 22
+---------------
+	- Search function all overwrited by mRgOBLIN. The new function fixes
+	  some bugs and add a feature, telling to the user what package needs
+	  upgrade and the name of newer package version.
+        - Minor changes in some error messages
+        - Now "non-root" users can use "search" without install Slackware GPG
+          Key...
+
+2004 Thu Mar 18
+---------------
+	- Put an error message when md5sum or gpg doesn't match.
+			(Thanx mRgOBLIN)
+	- Correct filelist.awk to fix some UGLY bugs in search function.
+	  Now it's correct.
+			(Thanx mRgOBLIN, for the bug report and the tip of fix)
+
+2004 Mon Mar 01
+---------------
+	- Added GPG function. Now slackpkg check all packages against its
+	  .asc file. This option are enabled by default, if you doesn't like
+	  that, you can change the configuration in /etc/slackpkg/slackpkg.conf
+
+2004 Thu Feb 26
+---------------
+	- Fixed a bug with VIM package (yes, the bug affect only
+	  vim package...)
+	- A little change in makelist function. Now we got our speed
+	  back... when fixed duplicate packages the fix make slackpkg
+	  more slow (4 minutes to make list for "slackpkg upgrade slackware"). 
+	  Now we doesn't have duplicated packages and have back our normal
+	  speed (1 minute to "slackpkg upgrade slackware" list)
+	- Change version on all places to 1.03.1
+
+2004 Tue Feb 18
+---------------
+	- Now when we show a big package list, you can scroll with "more"
+	  and can see all packages
+	- Bug fix! Something changed in FILELIST.TXT and slackpkg brokes
+	  all package lists. Now it's ok.
+		(Thanx to chvt and Steven De Kock)
+	- New man-page provided by Rob. Thanx!
+	- Changed VERSION to 1.03
+
+2004 Tue Feb 10
+---------------
+	- We added a new system to make easy add new functions in slackpkg.
+	  You only needs put your new function in a shell script and that
+	  script under /usr/share/slackpkg/functions.d
+
+	  With that, if you want GPG checking (example), you only needs
+	  add one checkgpg function and rewrite/change the getpkg. It's
+	  a nice way of extend slackpkg.
+
+	- Changed /usr/share to /usr/libexec. It makes more sense.
+			(Thanx thefallen)
+	- Fixed blacklist duplicate packages problem. Blacklist doesn't use
+	  the default makelist function (now it uses).
+			(Thanx chvt for bug reports)
+
+2004 Thu Feb 06
+---------------
+	- Corrected a little bug in makelist option. Some packages are
+	  duplicated in the list. Now it's correct.
+	- Put "update" in "case-esac". It is the only option in a "if-fi"
+
+2004 Thu Feb 05
+---------------
+	- Version are wrong in VERSION var. Now it's good.
+	- A lot of design changes. The "new" output style is a big mistake.
+	  I am reverting slackpkg to the old one.
+	- We are splitting slackpkg in two parts. One with slackpkg functions
+	  and other with the main program itself. It's really good.
+	- Put all options in a big "case-esac" instead multiple "if-fi"
+
+2004 Mon Feb 02
+---------------
+	- A new "sleep" test to solve problems in Slackware 9.1
+	- One tr -d "\r" to fix a bug in pkglist generation
+		(Thanx to Anatol)
+	- Added a new "clean" of tmp files in the slackpkg startup. It fixes
+	  some ugly errors (slackpkg never-ends, slackpkg duplicate packages,
+	  etc...)
+		(Thanx Lorn, toledo and gar0t0)
+	- Little changes in "info" now you will give an error if try to see
+	  a "generic" info. "info" needs one package-name.
+
+2004 Fri Jan 30
+---------------
+	- Put a spinning bar when making one slow action. Thanx to toledo!!!
+	  The code for spinning bar works really fine, and now our users can
+	  see: "something is happenning..."
+	- Edit a lot of small things in everywhere to use spinning bar.
+	- man-page, README and other docs are "updated".
+	- fixed some sleep problems in slackware 8.1/9.0, now our program call
+	  an internal sleep function
+
+2004 Wed Jan 21
+---------------
+	- Fixed "update" option. When we work with local dirs, the PACKAGES.TXT
+	  are not "downloaded".
+
+2004 Mon Jan 19
+---------------
+	- New option added! slackpkg info package can tell to you the 
+	  information about that package.
+	- Correct some small bugs in cutpkg (very small bugs... i can detect 
+	  they only now!!!)
+	- Changed update option to download PACKAGES.TXT too...
+
+2004 Fri Jan 17
+---------------
+	- Changed the default wget to not show any info. Now we got a much more
+	  cleaner output on screen.
+	- Corrected some bugs in new clean output system
+
+2004 Mon Jan 12
+---------------
+	- Changed the ChangeLog file format.
+	- Corrected a bug in blacklist option. It's the same bug that happenned
+	  in "download" option. The bug are reported by Toledo (again)
+	- Now slackpkg can "search" files in /extra and /pasture too
+
+Tue Nov 11 - Fixed a little problem with duplicated packages in reinstall
+	     function.
+	   - Corrected a bug in download option. It asks to "download" from
+	     an empty line. Now it's fixed  (bug report by Toledo)
+
+Mon Nov 10 - Changed version to 1.00
+		. we have 1.00beta, 1.00beta1 and 1.00beta2 in internal tests
+	   - Many, many changes in the backend...
+		. The package scan are completely rewroted. Now we can
+		  make the package list 30% faster than old code.
+		. Now we have a lot of functions. The code are much more
+		  flexible and readable
+		. Thanx to Jochem Kossen!
+	   - New "download" function.
+		. Thanx to DaMouse!
+	   - Some english typos corrected... (and some new introduced)
+	   - Upgraded the man-page and README
+
+Thu Sep 25 - Updated man-page to show blacklist option
+	   - Updated README to show blacklist option and to show the correct
+	     release number.
+	   - Correct the "usage" message to include blacklist option
+	   - Ok, we remove kernel-* from blacklist and put in here a 
+	     message telling automated upgrade kernel-* isn't a good idea.
+	     A lot of people tell me blacklist need to be empty... and i
+	     approve that idea.
+	   - Change the way of how detect packages that will be upgraded or
+	     reinstalled. Old way thinks: package-1.2.3-i386-1 are the same
+	     of package-1.2.3-i386-12345, now it's correct.
+	   - Now slackpkg checks if the package is already in 
+	     /var/cache/packages before to download. If it's in cache, only
+	     upgrade|install|reinstall, don't make a new download.
+		. Thanx Leandro Toledo
+
+Wed Sep 24 - Added "blacklist" command, to put packages in blacklist.
+	     put all i18n packages manually is terrible. 
+
+		slackpkg blacklist kde-i18n
+
+	     will be help you (and me).
+	   - Updated mirrors list. slackware 9.1 isn't out but we are
+	     ready -:) (Thanx Cubano) 
+	   - Changed search function. Now, if we have one package installed
+	     in your machine and one different in the MIRROR, the slackpkg
+	     will tell to you to [  upgrade  ]. Suggested by Nathan Morell
+	   - Changed version to 0.99.1
+
+Fri Sep 19 - Putting all kernel-packages in blacklist file.
+	     It's a better idea upgrade kernel packages manually
+	     Thanx to Buick_Sk.
+
+Mon Sep 15 - A warning telling to users DOESN'T USE ftp.slackware.com as your
+	     default mirror.
+	   - Merged a patch from pvg, making the package selection more
+	     acurated,
+	   - Changed version number to 0.99
+	   - Changed owner of some files and gzipped man-page. That makes
+	     the package more "Slackware" compliant (Thanks Patrick)
+	   - Leandro Toledo makes a patch with some fixes in CHECKSUMS.MD5 
+	     download.
+	   - Changed default package locations from /usr/local/packages to
+	     /var/cache/packages. It's more compatible with FHS specifications
+	     Thanx Patrick.
+
+Thu Aug 21 - Finally!!! One man page!!! Now slackpkg have a man-page and
+	     you can type: man slackpkg to see more info.
+		. Thanx for William N. Zanatta for that manpage
+	   - More syntax checkings... slackpkg have a lot of syntax checkings
+
+Wed Aug 20 - Changes in md5sum checking code. Original code are more
+	     technical, but more complex. New code more clean.
+
+Tue Aug 19 - Changed version number to 0.98
+	   - Now we have md5sum check of packages. With that, is very
+	     hard install a corrupt pack.
+		. Thanx for William N. Zanatta for that code
+	   - Now we can install/upgrade/reinstall from a CD-ROM or other
+	     dir in your HD.
+	   - Some code cleanups using functions instead duplicate code.
+	   - Corrected a bug in permissions check. Now, a normal user can
+	     search for one (or more) files in packages.
+
+Fri Aug 01 - Updated mirrors file (now Slackware 9.0!!!)
+		. Thanx Cubano, Udontknow and gar0t0
+	   - Fixed problem with DELALL (old DELALL doesn't delete all,
+	     delete only the last pack, now it works well and delete
+	     really all)
+		. Thanx Isaque Galdino for the bug report and fix
+	   - Deprecated MANIFEST.gz now the system only reads MANIFEST.bz2
+	   - Fixed a lot of typos (Udontknow)
+	   - Check if the user is root before trying upgrade/install/remove
+	     a package
+
+Thu Apr 10 - Added blacklist support with the packages that can't be 
+	     upgraded/installed/uninstalled.
+		. Thanx Gondim for that idea

+	     by slackpkg.
+
+Fri Feb 14 - Change release number to 0.93
+	   - New install scripts, no more erased confs
+	   - New option in slackpkg.conf, WGETFLAGS. Now you can specify
+	     some wget confs with that option.
+	   - New feature, reinstall.

+		reinstall -> re-install already installed software
