+ 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

+ o Build Tool
+
+The openpkg install openpkg-tools helper tool has been removed because
+the real openpkg build tool is now integrated into the bootstrap.
+
+ o SetUID
+
+The openpkg command is now a SUID executable, if the instance is
+installed by root. If the instance is installed by an unprivileged user,
+the functionality is not available. The new feature allows privilege
+adjustments based on the task to be done. A new configuration file
+%{l_prefix}/etc/openpkg/managers lists the users which may receive
+additional privileges. If openpkg is run by an user not listed in the
+managers file or the option --keep-privileges is specified, then the
+command drops its accelerated privileges as early as possible. It also
+drops the privileges for listed users which execute tasks that do not
+require superuser permissions, e.g. openpkg rpm --rebuild. Typical
+tasks that do require additional permissions, e.g. openpkg rpm -Uvh
and
+openpkg rc, can be easily used by users listed as instance managers.
By
+default, the root user and the instance management user are listed as
+managers.
+
+The management user is able to now really manage the complete
+instance as it now is able to build and install packages, stop and
+start services, etc. For instance if it runs prefix/etc/openpkg
+--rebuild ... this is still done under his privileges, but the
+following prefix/etc/openpkg -Uvh ... is done with root
+privileges. This means no more sudo setups required for the
+management user and especially the OpenPKG handling is much
+simplified for the average user as he no longer has to think about
+whether he has to switch to or from root for the next command all the
+time.
+
+The super user is now downgraded to the management user for
+commands which do not require super user privileges. This especially
+means that if the super user executes a prefix/etc/openpkg
+--rebuild ... it automatically internally is executed under the
+management user. This way no more packages _CAN_ be built under
+root privileges. This is a further improvement in security and also
+improves the OpenPKG sane build environment idea.

- o No known issues
+ o sudo
+
+In OpenPKG-2-STABLE-20060622, the group ownership of the sudo(8)
+configuration file %{l_prefix}/etc/sudo/sudoers has changed
+from %{l_mgid} to %{l_sgid}. Unfortunatelly, this change isn't
+reflected when upgrading the sudo package (this seems to be a
+general limitation of rpm(8) when upgrading files flags as config).
+Therefore, invocations of sudo(8) will fail with panic messages in
+sudo.log. In order to fix the problem, please change group ownership
+of %{l_prefix}/etc/sudo/sudoers to %{l_sgid}.

creates
+an identical shell script output suitable for piping into sh(1).
+
+ o Release detection
+
+The bootstrap internal logic, including the %{l_openpkg_release}
+rpmmmacro, the openpkg build simulator and the full blown openpkg
+build tool use a new and common code base to detect whether the instance
+they belong to runs OpenPKG-CURRENT, -STABLE or -SOLID/-RELEASE. A new
and
+powerful openpkg release command was added to provide a suitable human
+and programmatic interface to the detection logic. The logic operates on
+package names and by design [1] cannot detect snapshots, thus updates
will
+be searched in the appropriate branch unless manual configuration is
done.
+
+[1] see Package Name column in
http://www.openpkg.org/development/cvs.txt
+
+
+ o %{l_openpkg_release} rpmmacro
+
+The rpmmacro in the STABLE branch is backwards compatible to previous
+versions and supports the outdated -F %s query construct which is used
+by some STABLE packages.
+
+ o Release TAG and URL configuration
+
+To replace release detection logic by manual configuration, create a
+%{l_prefix}/etc/openpkg/release file and place a TAG setting inside, e.g.
+TAG=2-STABLE-20060622. It is also possible to point openpkg build to
+an alternate package download location, usually a local mirror of -
+probably modified - packages. See openpkg man release.

+ o Registry
+
+ In November 2005, after the release of OpenPKG 2.5, the Registry was
+ introduced. The client part to register and to rewrite rpm URLs was made
+ available as a CURRENT package with openpkg-registry-0.3.0 being the most
+ widespread in use for roughly half a year. Beginning with bootstrap
+ openpkg-20060512 the client part became embedded and did no longer require
+ the use of a extra package. Coexistence of a modern bootstrap with a
+ external package is not recommended but possible with the following
ceveat:
+ a bug in openpkg-registry-0.3.0 causes the register command to
+ accidentally call rpm where it should have called itself. This causes
+ strange error messages regarding unsupported register options. The rpm
URL
+ rewriting still continues to work and allows the instance to operate and
to
+ upgrade packages. It is necessary to upgrade to openpkg-registry-0.4.1 or
+ later to fix the problem. It is recommended to erase the openpkg-registry
+ package because the whole functionality is embedded in the bootstrap
+ anyway.
