-               - Removed "link to ..." from .footprint.
-               - pkgmk now allows the source=() array to be empty. This

-                 structures and/or symlinks.
-
-5.12           - Released 2003-11-30
-               - Added support for .nostrip, an optional file containing

-               - pkginfo: Added option -f/--footprint, which generates a
-                 package footprint. The old method for generating footprints
-                 failed in special cases.
-               - pkgmk: Updated to use pkginfo -f when creating footprints.
-               - pkgmk: Fixed bug in man page compression.
-               - pkgmk: Removed support for ROOT in Pkgfiles, use PKGMK_ROOT
-                 instead.
-               - pkgmk: Removed support for SOURCE_DIR, PACKAGE_DIR and
-                 WORK_DIR, use PKGMK_SOURCE_DIR, PKGMK_PACKAGE_DIR and

-               - Fixed bug in database backup code.
-               - Rejected files that are empty or equal to the already
-                 installed version are now automatically removed.
-

-               - Fixed memory leak in pkgadd.
-               - Patched libtar to fix memory leak.
-               - Patched libtar to reduce memory usage.

-
-5.7            - Released 2003-07-31
-               - pkgmk: Reintroduced the $ROOT variable.
-
-5.6            - Released 2003-07-05
-               - pkgmk: Added automatic stripping of libraries (can be
-                 disabled with -ns/--no-strip).
-               - pkgmk: Added option -if/--ignore-footprint, which builds a
-                 package without checking the footprint.
-               - pkgmk: Synchronized names of variables exposed in pkgmk.conf
-                 to avoid potential conflicts. All variables now start with
-                 PKGMK_. The old names (SOURCE_DIR, PACKAGE_DIR and WORK_DIR)
-                 still work but this backwards compatibility will be removed
-                 in the future.
-
-5.5            - Released 2003-05-03
-               - pkgmk: Added support for alternative source, package and work
-                 directories. Variables SOURCE_DIR, PACKAGE_DIR and WORK_DIR
-                 can be set in /etc/pkgmk.conf.
-                 Thanks to Markus Ackermann <maol@symlink.ch>.
-               - Minor changes to some info/error messages.
-
-5.4            - Released 2003-03-09
-               - pkgmk: Added option -c/--clean, which removes the package
-                 and the downloaded source files.
-               - Upgraded bundled libtar from 1.2.10 to 1.2.11. This
-                 version of libtar fixes a spurious "permission denied"
-                 error, which sometimes occurred when running "pkgadd -u".
-
-5.3            - Released 2003-02-05
-               - pkgadd: the combination of -f and -u now respects the
-                 upgrade configuration in /etc/pkgadd.conf. This is
-                 needed to better support upgrades where ownership of
-                 files has been moved from one package to another.
-               - pkgadd/pkgrm/pkginfo: improved/reworked database locking
-                 and error handling.
-               - pkgmk: added -o to unzip to make it behave more like tar
-                 and avoid user intaraction when overwriting files.
-                 Thanks to Andreas Sundström <sunkan@zappa.cx>.
-               - Upgraded bundled libtar from 1.2.9 to 1.2.10.
-
-5.2            - Released 2002-12-08
-               - pkgmk: exports LC_ALL=POSIX to force utilities to use a
-                 neutral locate.
-               - Upgraded bundled libtar from 1.2.8 to 1.2.9.
-
-5.1            - Released 2002-10-27
-               - Upgraded bundled libtar from 1.2.5 to 1.2.8.
-               - pkgadd/pkgrm/pkginfo: Added file-locking on database to
-                 prevent more than one instance of pkgadd/pkgrm/pkginfo from
-                 running at the same time.
-               - pkgadd: Fixed a bug in libtar that caused segmentation fault
-                 when extracting files whose filenames contains characters
-                 with ascii value > 127.
-               - pkgmk: Fixed bug which caused suid/sgid binaries to become
-                 unstripped.
-               - pkgmk: Added option -ns/--no-strip. Use it to avoid stripping
-                 binaries in a package.
-               - pkginfo: -o/--owner does not require the whole path to the
-                 file anymore.
-
-5.0            - Released 2002-09-09
-               - Now requires GCC 3.2 to compile (due to STL incompatibility).
-               - pkginfo: -o/--owner now prepends the current directory to
-                 the file argument unless it starts with /. This feature is
-                 disable when using the -r/--root option.
-               - pkgmk: The build() function will now be aborted as soon
-                 as some command exits with an exit code other than 0 (zero).
-               - pkgmk: Binaries are now stripped automatically.
-               - pkgmk: Man pages are now compressed automatically.
-               - pkgmk: Symlinks are always given access permissions
-                 lrwxrwxrwx in .footprint, regardless of the actual
-                 access permissions. This avoids footprint problems
-                 when using e.g. XFS.
-
-4.4            - Released 2002-06-30
-               - Added option -cf, --config-file to pkgmk.
-               - Minor bugfixes.
-
-4.3            - Released 2002-06-11
-               - Removed Pkgfile.local-feature which was added in 4.2. It
-                 didn't work very well in some (common) situations.
-               - Corrected spelling errors in pkgmk.
-
-4.2            - Released 2002-05-17
-               - Added support for Pkgfile.local, which enables users to
-                 tweak packages by overriding parts of the original
-                 Pkgfile. This is useful when pkgmk is used in CRUX's
-                 ports system, where users will loose changes made to the
-                 original Pkgfile the next time they update their ports
-                 structure.
-               - Minor cleanups.
-
-4.1            - Released 2002-04-08
-               - Added support for preventing selected files (typically
-                 configuration files) from being overwritten when upgrading
-                 a package. The file /etc/pkgadd.conf, contains a list of
-                 rules with regular expressions specifying these files. These
-                 rules will be consulted when executing pkgadd with the
-                 option -u. Files that, according to the rules, shouldn't be
-                 upgraded will instead be installed under
-                 /var/lib/pkg/rejected/. The user can then examine, use and
-                 remove these files manually if so desired.
-               - Added md5sum checking (.md5sum contains the MD5 checksum of
-                 all source files). pkgmk uses this file to verify that
-                 the (potentially downloaded) source files are correct.
-               - Upgraded bundled libtar from 1.2.4 to 1.2.5.
-
-4.0.1          - Released 2002-01-20
-               - Removed warning "unable to remove XXX: Directory not empty"
-                 when upgrading a package.
-
-4.0            - Released 2002-01-14
-               - Packages are now identified by their names only (and
-                 not by name and version as before). This makes it easier
-                 for users to upgrade and remove packages. This, of course,
-                 comes with a price. You can not install two packages with
-                 the same name.
-               - The naming convention for packages is now:
-                       name#version-release.pkg.tar.gz
-                 The character '#' is not allowed in package names, since
-                 it's used as the name/version delimiter.
-               - New database layout, which gives a more robust database
-                 with a transaction-like behaviour. This implementation
-                 will gurantee that the database will never be corrupted
-                 even if the power fails when pkgadd/pkgrm is running. It
-                 does however not guarantee that the database contents is
-                 in sync with the filesystem if such a crash should occur.
-                 This means that the database will _never_ loose track of
-                 files that are installed, but it can (in case of a crash)
-                 contain files that are actually not installed. Repeating
-                 the pkgadd/pkgrm command that was running when the crash
-                 occured will get the database in sync with the filesystem
-                 again.
-               - pkgmk is now capable of downloading missing source files
-                 (using wget) before building a package (option -d), given
-                 that the URL is specified in the "source" variable.
-               - pkg.build was renamed to Pkgfile (to mimic make/Makefile).
-               - pkg.contents was renamed to .footprint.
-               - pkgmk is now capable of installing/upgrading a package if
-                 the build was successful (option -i and -u).
-               - Lot's of minor fixes and cleanups.
-
-0.1 - 3.2.0    - Released 2000-05-10 - 2001-10-03
-               (No change log was maintained during this time)
