About
=====

This is pro-archman, the ProteanOS Archive Manager.

pro-archman manages packages in an archive laid out as explained in this
specification:

    http://www.proteanos.com/dev/archive/layout/

The ProteanOS Archive Manager can:

  * Include new packages into an archive;
  * Scan an "incoming" directory for new packages;
  * Remove packages from an archive suite;
  * Copy packages from one archive suite to another;
  * Remove an archive suite;
  * Efficiently generate feed index files that package managers can use
    to find packages in the archive; and
  * Remove old package files after a delay, allowing package managers to
    find packages listed in cached feed index files.

NEWS for Version 1.4.0
======================

Changes in this release:

  * A new "Manifests" file is generated to list architectures,
    platforms, and sections in a suite.
  * The "include" command no longer prints a list of included files.
    This was a minor bug introduced in version 1.1.0.
  * "Packages" index files are now compressed with gzip if a new
    "conf_gzip" configuration variable (default: true) is set.
