agc 17a35e2e99 Introduce the notion of "preserving" an installed package. A preserved package may not be deleted by pkg_delete(1) (unless the -f option is given), and the preserved capability will be carried into any binary package. pkg_add(1) will also keep the preserved capability if it was present in the binary package. The "preserve" capability can be given to a package by using the PKG_PRESERVE definition in a package Makefile in pkgsrc. Ride on the recently-bumped lib/version.h for new functionality.		2003-01-10 11:55:44 +00:00

This is the pkg_install suite of tools for doing maintainance of
software "packages".  More documentation is available in the man pages
for each individual command.

This code was written by Jordan Hubbard for FreeBSD, snatched and
mildly reshaped by John Kohl in NetBSD and the changes taken back into
FreeBSD again by Jordan, who then proceeded to add another couple
of dozen features on top.  Whee! :-)

In another round of enhancements, NetBSD changes were added by
Alistair Crooks and Hubert Feyrer, Thorsten Frueauf and Christian E.
Hopps.

When making snapshots, please modify PKGTOOLS_VERSION in lib/version.h
to that day's date.
