I am pleased to announce the release of qi 2.5.

Qi is a simple but well-integrated package manager.  It can create,
install, remove, and upgrade software packages.  Qi produces binary
packages using recipes, which are files containing specific instructions
to build each package from source.  Qi can manage multiple packages
under a single directory hierarchy.  This method allows to maintain a
set of packages and multiple versions of them.  This means that Qi could
be used as the main package manager or complement the existing one.

   Qi offers a friendly command line interface, a global configuration
file, a simple recipe layout to deploy software packages; also works
with binary packages in parallel, speeding up installations and packages
in production.  The format used for packages is a simplified but safe
POSIX pax archive compressed with lzip.

   Qi is a modern (POSIX-compliant) shell script released under the
terms of the GNU General Public License.  There are only two major
dependencies for the magic: graft(1) and tarlz(1), the rest is expected
to be found in any Unix-like system.

Changes in this version:

    * Version 2.5 released.

    * Searching for previously installed packages in an upgrade has been
      simplified, which will speed up and save resources in upgrade 
mode.

    * The network downloader has been changed to make use of GNU Wget2.

    * Minor enhancements.

The sources can be downloaded from
  http://rsync.dragora.org/current/sources/qi-2.5.tar.lz or
from an available mirror
  http://mirror.cedia.org.ec/dragora/current/sources/qi-2.5.tar.lz

The SHA256 sum is:

Please send bug reports and suggestions to <dragora-users@nongnu.org>.

Best regards,
Matias Fonzo, qi author and maintainer.
