++--------------------------+
+
+2014 Thu Jul 10
+---------------

+ package name it will not be in the "search" package list
+ (reported by David Lee)
+ - Removed old checkblacklist function and all references to it
+
+2010 Sun Dec 05

+ when making the install list (all blacklisted packages appears
+ as installables).
+
+2010 Fri Sep 10

+ - Fix CHECKSIZE to only check mountpoints. This avoids problems when
+ the system have networked or DVD/CDs mounted
+ (Thanks alienbob and vbatts)

+ - Released as 2.81.1beta1. Happy Workers Day!
+
+2010 Wed Apr 28
+---------------
+ - Fix blacklist checking on 'slackpkg clean-system'. It was
+ checking if the package is blacklisted but didn't use this
+ information.
+ (Reported by Greg and Shuren)

+ downloaders.
+
+2010 Mon Apr 19
+---------------
+ - Now we can, before install or upgrade a package, verify
+ if the system have enough available space in its filesystems.
+ This can slowdown the upgrade/install process but can save a lot
+ of problems.

+ . Added havespace and checksize functions on core-functions.sh
+ - Released as slackpkg-2.81beta2
+
+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

+---------------
+ - Fixed .new detection. (Thanks Stuart Winter)
+ - Renamed the "CHECKPKG" variable to "CHECKMD5" (and changed the
+ relevant command line options; this is more appropriate for what
+ the function does (it checks md5 sums of the packages), and it's
+ 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

+ 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.

+ latest .new files will be checked by post-install function.

+ man-page.
+ - Added "check-updates" on slackpkg man-page.

+ - Fixed many en_BR bugs in docs and configuration files
+ (thanks again rworkman!)
+
+2008 Wed Jan 09
+---------------
+ - A new command line parser, much better than the older one.
+ 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
+---------------
+ - Added BATCH and DEFAULT_ANSWER options in slackpkg.conf,
+ you can use those two to make automated upgrades without
+ human intervention. (suggested by Clayton and many others).

+2008 Wed Jan 04
+---------------

+
+2007 Sat Jun 09

+
+2007 Tue Jun 05
+---------------
+ - Fixes in almost all slackpkg messages and in README file
+ (Thanks Robby Workman!)
+ - Included (I) to ignore duplicated files... well, this can
+ burn your computer... but who am I to don't let you do that?
+ (Thanks Robby Workman, again)
+ - Included httpd in hardcoded install-new files.
+ - 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 hardcoded dialog and aaa_terminfo in install-new
+ - Released slackpkg 2.52!!
+
+2007 Mon Mar 12
+---------------

+ 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
+---------------

+
+2004 Fri Oct 29

+
+2004 Mon Mar 22

+ - Fixed a bug with VIM package (yes, the bug affect only
+ vim package...)
+ - A little change in makelist function. Now we got our speed

+ - 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).

+
+2004 Thu Feb 06
+---------------
+ - Corrected a little bug in makelist option. Some packages are

+ - A lot of design changes. The "new" output style is a big mistake.
+ I am reverting slackpkg to the old one.

+ 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

+ 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..."

+ - fixed some sleep problems in slackware 8.1/9.0, now our program call
+ an internal sleep function
+
+2004 Wed Jan 21

+ information about that package.

+
+Tue Nov 11 - Fixed a little problem with duplicated packages in reinstall
+ function.

+ 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...

+
+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.
