Greetings lists,

After a couple of month of refactoring, debugging, adding new features 
and behaviours, the new pkgin is at the door !

Beginning in June, Bapt, from the FreeBSD `pkgng' fame, gave me some hints 
he's been through in order to boost their package manager speed. Along 
with many feedback i received by mail (thanks everyone), i've put it 
together in order to provide nicer, improved code.

In a nutshell, here are the changes you may (or may not) notice:

. Made "yes" the default answer for install, remove, upgrade (request)
. Got rid of many useless lists loading (speed x10, literally)
. Introduced FULLPKGNAME as db member, speed ups searches
. unique_pkg(): no more "many versions of foo", pickup newer (request)
. Got rid of the annoying "stalled-behaviour" while downloading on some
  platforms
. Imported progressmeter from OpenSSH (request)
. One struct to rule them all (Pkglist), eavily simplified code
. More flexible check_yesno()
. Database silent migration, you won't have to rm -rf /var/db/pkgin to
  migrate to 0.5

Pkgin 0.5 has been tested on NetBSD 5.1/amd64 & i386, Openindiana, 
DragonFly BSD 2.8, Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 and MINIX 3.1.8.

0.5 is available from pkgsrc-wip (wip/pkgin) and i'd like it to be well 
tested before it makes its way to pkgsrc. The brave could also track 
pkgin's CVS code, instructions are here: http://pkgin.net/

Please use pkgin-devel%lists.sourceforge.net@localhost to submit PR, comments, 
requests and patches, best way to keep track of pkgin user's adventures :)

Cheers,
