Now we can + detect when dialog fails and print one error message. + +2007 Tue May 15 +--------------- + - Added one / before ${NAMEPKG} in check md5sum.

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 people can use /testing as a + repository, too (of course this will break a lot of things) + - Added one MAIN variable.
