+ ================================
+
+ o openpkg curl
+
+ This new tool is a wrapper around the curl application shipped with the
+ bootstrap. It ensures the first option to curl is always "-q", ignoring
+ all ~/.curlrc files. It also checks whether a readable
+ %{l_prefix}/etc/openpkg/curlrc file exists and adds a "--config ..."
+ option automatically. The wrapper also goes through URL rewriting to obey
+ registered instances. Finally, the "openpkg" master program ensures use
of
+ appropriate user ids.
+
+ o openpkg build
+
+ This tool has been modified to use "openpkg curl" to fetch index files,
+ source and binary RPMs. The ftp and http capabilities internal to rpm are
+ no longer used by this tool. Downloaded files are removed after clean
+ usage unless the new "-k" option is used to keep the files
+ unconditionally.
+
+ The result of is change is a uniform configuration of proxies through
+ %{l_prefix}/etc/openpkg/curlrc, support for custom user:pass@ URLs with
+ http (unsupported by rpm 4.2.1) and support for https (entirely
+ unsupported by rpm 4.2.1).
+
+ o openpkg register
+
+ The tool has been adjusted to remember the --user and --link options of
+ the last successful registration for later reuse. Unless custom
parameters
+ are supplied, it automatically downloads anonymous link credentials from
+ the openpkg.org website. Any instance is automatically registered online
+ at installation time and it re-registers daily. This behaviour happens
+ unconditionally and creates network traffic which might cause costs to
the
+ user. The (re)registration constantly updates the openpkg registry with
+ information about package names, versions, releases and options being
used
+ in the field.
+
+ o %{l_prefix}/etc/rc.conf new configuration variables
+
+ openpkg_reghour="3" -> specifies the local time hour 0-23 when
+ (re)registration is triggered.
+
+ openpkg_regrand="1" -> specifies the random range of hours 1-4
+ added to reghour to distribute workload.
+
+ o openpkg.sh bootstrap new command line options
+
+ --reg_user=<user> -> preset "openpkg register --user=<user>"
+ --reg_link=<user> -> preset "openpkg register --link=<user>"
