About
=====

opkbuild is a distribution build system – a set of tools for building
software packages.  From source packages it builds binary packages for
use with the opkg package manager:

    https://code.google.com/p/opkg/

Currently one format of source package is supported by opkbuild:
ProteanOS Source Package Format 2.0:

    http://specs.proteanos.com/spf-2.0/

opkbuild is similar in function to the development library and utilities
of dpkg, the Debian package manager:

    https://packages.debian.org/sid/dpkg-dev
    https://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=dpkg/dpkg.git;a=tree;f=scripts

NEWS for Version 3.0.0-beta4
============================

Changes in this release:

  * ob_match_plat() now checks for exact platform name matches.  This
    will be necessary to build the linux-libre source package for the
    dev platform without building linux-image and linux-sysmap binary
    packages.
  * ob-installplatconf now correctly installs configuration files
    without a "/" in their specified destinations.
  * ob-checkbuilddeps has been implemented.  opkbuild now uses its opkg
    dependency.  Package build dependency checking can be disabled using
    opkbuild's "-d" option.
  * The default architecture in mksysconf.in is now "amd64-linux-glibc".
  * NEWS now contains summaries of changes in each released version.
