I am pleased to announce the release of qi 1.0. 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 but safe POSIX pax archive compressed with lzip. 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 version 1.0: * Version 1.0 (stable) released. * The manual (user guide) has been updated. The homepage is at http://www.dragora.org The sources can be downloaded from http://rsync.dragora.org/current/sources/qi-1.0.tar.lz or from an available mirror http://mirror.cedia.org.ec/dragora/current/sources/qi-1.0.tar.lz The SHA256 sum is: db332d6da0cef9c06e06f62bcc854d872ef2a584c0a10277b6961f6d4220e622 qi-1.0.tar.lz Please send bug reports and suggestions to [email protected] Best regards, Matias Fonzo, qi author and maintainer.
