Sun Dec  2 06:46:33 UTC 2018
---------------
	- 2.84.0_beta1
	- Allow blacklisting of individual packages without collateral 
	  damage (e.g. glibc ---> glibc-*). This changes the prior behavior
	  of the blacklist function; previously, adding "glibc" to the
	  blacklist would cause glibc, glibc-profile, glibc-zoneinfo, et al
	  to be ignored by slackpkg. The new behavior is that *only* the 
	  glibc package is ignored. If you want to blacklist all packages
	  whose names begin with glibc, you would need to add "glibc.*" to
	  the blacklist now.  Also note that any special characters, e.g. "+",
	  will need to be escaped in the blacklist file. (David Woodfall)

	- Fix for /var/log/packages/ possibly being a symlink to elsewhere

2010 Sun Dec 05

	  characters that dialog can handle. If DIALOG_MAXARGS is unset we
	  use the traditional 19500 characters. Removing hints when

	  upgrade from slackware-X to slackware-X+1 will be impossible.

	- 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

	  machines and install it with install-template.

	  disable (off) the spinning bar.
	- Added USE_INCLUDES to manage whether template includes should be
	  processed by slackpkg.

	  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.

	  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

	- Released as slackpkg 2.71.1

2009 Sat Apr 25
---------------
	- Fixed parsing of .t[blxg]z extension in packages
	  with tgz, tlz, tbz or txz inside file name.
					(Thanks Erik Jan Tromp)

2009 Thu Apr 23
---------------
	- 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

	  lista source.

	  (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.

	  before goes to WORKDIR. (reported by redhate)
	- slackpkg download isn't in new command line parser.
				(reported by redhate)
	- Fix all commands to doesn't work without a configured
	  mirror
	- Fixed some format errors in "usage"

	- 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
---------------
	- Fixes in install-new.awk to catch more new packages

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 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.

	- More two patches from Marek
	- One to show the diff between "something" and "something.new".
		This make the life more easier

	- Another fix with the "+" signal, now in remove option.
	- Fix the default action in:

	  many deleted.
	- Added "dummy" support to 10.1 mirrors... if it had 10.0 and an

	  new slackware releases -;)
		(Thanx Jorge Arellano Cid)

2004 Fri Oct 29

	  > lead to bugs
	- Added aaa_base too...

2004 Mon Apr 05
---------------

	  change the behavior of slackpkg "parser"...
	- Fixed a bug with "." and "+" in filenames.

2004 Wed Mar 31
---------------
	- Fixed one bug in "search" (yes, another bug!) (Thanx toledo, again)

	- Another fix in "search" bug. (Thanx toledo)

	- Fixed some bugs added by the regex changes.
	- Added a test to "first time running". Now slackpkg give some

	  GPG key, the key will be downloaded in "slackpkg update"

2004 Wed Mar 24
---------------
	- Fixed many regex bugs and changes a lot of "greps".
	- Fixed ls bugs -- changed to "ls -1" to stop multi column lists
	- 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
---------------

			(Thanx mRgOBLIN)

2004 Mon Mar 01
---------------

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

---------------
	- Now when we show a big package list, you can scroll with "more"

	  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.

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)

	  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
---------------

	  are not "downloaded".

2004 Mon Jan 19
---------------
	- New option added! slackpkg info package can tell to you the 
	  information about that package.

	  they only now!!!)
	- Changed update option to download PACKAGES.TXT too...

	  cleaner output on screen.

	- Corrected a bug in blacklist option. It's the same bug that happenned

	- 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.

	   - 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.

	   - Updated mirrors list. slackware 9.1 isn't out but we are
	     ready -:) (Thanx Cubano)

	     will tell to you to [  upgrade  ]. Suggested by Nathan Morell
	   - Changed version to 0.99.1

	     download.
	   - Changed default package locations from /usr/local/packages to

		. Thanx for William N. Zanatta for that manpage
	   - More syntax checkings... slackpkg have a lot of syntax checkings

	     dir in your HD.

		. 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

	     upgraded/installed/uninstalled.

		reinstall -> re-install already installed software
