I am pleased to announce the release of qi 2.8.

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 and safer
variant of POSIX pax archive compressed in lzip format.

   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 2.8 released.

    * Use full remove mode when upgrading a package.  The purpose of 
this
      change is to clean up the removal of a previous package when the
      upgrade mode is invoked.  Previously the package documentation
      directory (and other possible files) were left on the filesystem.

    * Minor enhancements.

The sources can be downloaded (via RSYNC) from
  rsync://rsync.dragora.org/dragora/current/sources/qi-2.8.tar.lz or
from an available HTTP mirror
  https://dragora.mirror.garr.it/current/sources/qi-2.8.tar.lz

The SHA256 sum is:

581c061ac8812f88b5fa76e3a0da4b08809cc47866c7a9397b6618fe4be74577  
qi-2.8.tar.lz

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

Best regards,
Matias Fonzo, qi author and maintainer.
