\| \|
* \|	Simplify build file with theoretical "opkhelper".	P. J. McDermott	2012-01-19	1	-11/+7
\|/ \| \| \| \|	The build helper software package will be called "opkhelper" and will provide scripts inspired by Joey Hess's "debhelper" for Debian.
*	Rewrite paragraph on configuration packages.	P. J. McDermott	2012-01-19	1	-6/+12
\| \| \| \| \| \|	The language may not be very clear, but its the most precise way I can imagine to describe this fairly advanced topic in software package management.

*	Update source package format specification.	P. J. McDermott	2012-01-16	1	-37/+9
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	The multiple/split binary package problem is solved by proposals 2 and 3 and by making the 'build' file a makefile. I can't make proposal 1 (with a separate 'build' file for each binary package) work in an intuitive way.
