Spack

This release fixes another problem in the previously mentioned regex in spkadd, which also caused unexpected packages to be removed or upgraded.

This release fixes a flawed regex in spkadd, which caused the packages containing the basename of the removed package in their own basename to be removed too.

In order to make the UI more direct, this release splits the spkman command into two commands: spkadd and spkrm. Moreover, the spkadd default action is from now on an "upgradepkg --install-new" equivalent, which is what you want to do most of the time. You can still force an upgrade mode by using the "-u/--upgrade" option.

This release provides the ability for spkcpio to make a CPIO package directly from a Slackware package. It also fixes a little bug which caused the links of the old package(s) to be systematically deleted during the upgrades.

This release introduce a new experimental package format based on CPIO. This aims to make Slackware-compatible packages without using tar 1.13, and could become the default Spack package format in the future. Several bugs in spack, spklist, and spkdock were also fixed.
