+ By using a made up file name in the message it was possible to fake status
+ messages. Using this technique it was for example possible to fake the
+ verification status of a signed mail.

+testing/packages/pkgtools-15.0-noarch-20.txz: Rebuilt.
+ This update is a bit scarier than usual, so we're going to test it here
+ first and then move it into the main tree in a couple of days if there
+ are no serious bug reports. It's well-tested here, and works with the
+ slackpkg that's in -current now, but I don't know about slackpkg+ so that's
+ another reason to let it cool down here first. The purpose of this update
+ is to migrate the package database and directories from /var/log to
+ /var/lib/pkgtools. /var/log was never a good place for this data, as it is
+ considered by many to be a directory that could be wiped to free up some
+ space. Originally the package database was in /var/adm, but the FSSTND
+ (later FHS) group decided that directory should be a symlink to /var/log,
+ and I went along with that since it was years ago and I was a n00b and didn't
+ know any better. /var/lib/pkgtools will be a better and safer location.
+ The removed_packages and removed_scripts directories are really just logs
+ that aren't actually used for anything - those will remain under /var/log,
+ but moved into /var/log/pkgtools. Everything under /var/log will be
+ considered potentially non-permanent by the pkgtools - if any directories or
+ symlinks disappear from there, the pkgtools will automatically recreate them
+ as needed. In fact, the migration process will create symlinks from all the
+ old directory locations to the new ones, so anything that expects the old
+ locations (including slackpkg, for now) should continue to work. Once this
+ moves into the main tree, the plan is to fix other packages to use the new
+ installer script directory (/var/lib/pkgtools/setup) and change the installer
+ and slackpkg to use the new native locations for everything. When slackpkg
+ is changed over to use the new native locations, I'll also make sure to float
+ that in testing/ for a few days before moving it to the main tree to avoid
+ more unintentional disruption to slackpkg+ users.
+ Be aware that the package database migration is a one-way operation, but even
+ so if you later downgrade to an older version of the pkgtools it will still
+ work through the compatibility symlinks.
