1.7

• Add a --purge (-p) option, that when used with removing a package, will also remove remnants of any ".new" configuration files.
• Increase doinst.sh size limit to 32M

1.6

• Replace an existing file with a directory and vice versa during installation too.
• Remove a lot of duplicate code
• Allow compiling against musl

1.5

Add the ability to replace an existing file with a directory and also to replace an existing directory with a file. This is now absolutely needed, since there are package updates, even in a stable release, where this happens. Safe mode will prevent this behavior.

1.4

Parse packages sizes >=1GB

Some packages have now become too big. The kernel-source package is 1.1GB installed. When installed with pkgtools, its size is now stated as "1.1G" in the UNCOMPRESSED SIZE field in the respective /var/lib/pkgtools/packages file.

There's also another issue that this change doesn't handle. In some languages the decimal point is a "," instead of a "." and that's what the numfmt tool, which is used by pkgtools, uses. So the size is stated as "1,1G" instead. The C sscanf function we're using here doesn't parse that correctly, leaving the decimal part out. So a package of size "1,9G" would end up showing as 1024M. Same issue with packages of size >1MB and <10MB, they would show up as "1,1M" for example. This doesn't create any actual problems with installing/removing/upgrading packages through. The discrepancy is only showed when running spkg --list. I'll leave it like this for now.

1.3

• Update package directory structure for slack 15.0
• Add aaa_glibc-solibs to bl_symopts
• Update for newer version of brotli
• Replace obsolete downloads link with releases link
• Remove wiki link

1.1

Fix breakage when upgrading the glibc-solibs package. Do not remove symlinks to critical libc libraries when upgrading. The symlinks are taken care of when the doinst.sh script is executed anyway, so there is no harm.

Add support for brotli compressed packages.

Some code refactoring.

Remove block for package upgrades. Some packages, such as aaa_elflibs and aaa_base were blacklisted for upgrades. That goes against what pkgtools do. All blacklisting code has been removed, it should be possible to upgrade any package now.

Minor fixes in manpage.

I guess I'm officially the new maintainer now... ~~ George
