I am pleased to announce the release of qi 2.10.
Qi is a simple but well-integrated package manager. It can create,
install, remove, and upgrade software packages. Qi produces binary
packages using recipes, which are files containing specific instructions
to build each package from source. Qi can manage multiple packages
under a single directory hierarchy. This method allows to maintain a
set of packages and multiple versions of them. This means that Qi could
be used as the main package manager or complement the existing one.
Qi offers a friendly command line interface, a global configuration
file, a simple recipe layout to deploy software packages; also works
with binary packages in parallel, speeding up installations and packages
in production. The format used for packages is a simplified and safer
variant of POSIX pax archive compressed in lzip format.
Qi is a modern (POSIX-compliant) shell script released under the
terms of the GNU General Public License. There are only two major
dependencies for the magic: graft(1) and tarlz(1), the rest is expected
to be found in any Unix-like system.
Changes in this version:
* Version 2.10 released.
* The default output directory can now be specified via `configure`.
* A new function to validate incoming packages has been added to the
Qi code.
* A new function to check and make directories has been added to the
Qi code.
* The -L option to print the default directory locations is no
longer
static, it can now, for example, display the target directory
dynamically.
* recipes: Fixed missing message when setting the special variable
'keep_srcdir'.
* recipes: Added new special variable 'opt_skiprecipe' to ignore and
continue with the next recipe cleanly.
* Refactoring of the code as well as improvements to it, minor but
no
less important changes have been made for this release.
* The documentation plus the CREDITS file have been updated.
