ProteanOS Development Kit 1.1.0 released

About
=====

This is prokit, the ProteanOS Development Kit.

prokit can install a ProteanOS system, run a ProteanOS shell and other
commands, manage software packages in an installed ProteanOS system, and
build packages for ProteanOS (with build dependencies automatically
installed and removed).

prokit is similar in function to the debootstrap, pbuilder, and sbuild
programs of Debian and derivatives.

NEWS for Version 1.1.0
======================

Changes in this release:

  * The previously missing prokit-install(8) manual page is now
    distributed and installed.
  * Some logic of "prokit install" has been simplified as ProteanOS
    packages now have the necessary data files and control fields.
  * "prokit build" now parses substvars files without errors.
  * The current working directory is bind mounted within the isolated
    file system environment and used as the working directory for the
    "prokit shell" and "prokit opkg" commands.
  * Compatibility with older versions of opkbuild has been dropped.
    Before running "prokit build", make sure your ProteanOS system has
    version 3.0.0~beta6-1 or later of the opkbuild package.
  * The list of mirrors has been updated.  Thanks to Morten 'Jobbe'
    Jakobsen for providing another mirror.
  * Session management has been added to allow multiple instances of
    prokit to run simultaneously.  The first instance started will mount
    the basic file systems, and the last instance exited will unmount
    them.  A mutex is used to eliminate race conditions on changes to
    the sessions pool.
  * Whitespace in arguments to "prokit shell" and "prokit build" is now
    preserved.
  * Signals are handled during active sessions with callbacks for the
    "prokit opkg" and "prokit build" commands, to ensure that the
    isolated file system environment is left in a clean state when a
    signal like SIGINT (Ctrl+C) is received.
