paco 2.0.3

Paco project is a source code package organizer for Unix/Linux systems, originally written to aid package management when installing an LFS system. When installing a package from sources, paco wraps the "make install" command (or whatever is needed to install the files into the system), and generates a log containing the list of all installed files. Like any other package manager, paco provides several options to print package information in different formats. It can also remove packages, among some other basic operations. Technically, paco follows the same approach as CheckInstall: A library is preloaded before installation, and during installation it catches the system calls that cause filesystem alterations, logging the names of the created files. But unlike CheckInstall, paco doesnt create rpm or dpkg packages. Paco is a stand-alone package manager. It can even install rpm, dpkg or slackware binary packages with the provided script superpaco. Gpaco is the GTK+ graphic interface of paco. Its included in the same tarball and installed by default. Gpaco requires GTK+ (2.6 or later), and pkg-config. Whats New in This Release: - Removed repeated text in the man page of paco (thanks Georg Grafendorfer). - The option -x|--expand has been removed (though it is silently ignored for backwards compatibility). Now the command line package names are automatically expanded like in rpm(8), except when logging packages. In this case the package name must be introduced exactly. - Do not search for the name of the package in config.log (thanks Mirco Lorenzoni). - Fix a doubled DESTDIR bug in doc/Makefile (thanks Matthew Bruenig). - Rewritten libpaco-log in C. This prevents a glibc installation failure when building LFS in chapter 6. - Fixed bug that made paco log compressed files twice in some cases. - Use RTLD_NEXT in libpaco-log. Fixes bug in some systems (thanks Roland Schatz). - When logging installations, files in /proc are always excluded, regardless of the variable EXCLUDE in pacorc or the arguments to the option -E|--exclude. - Better strip the release suffix in rpm2paco and superpaco. - [gpaco] Fixed several problems in "Import RPM database"..
