A plan for packaging

[wscott]

@calhariz The functionality from of your patches have been included in the bk-7.3. See the release canidiate announcement:

Please test bk-7.3 release candidate 1

Over at bk:/bkbits.net/u/bk/dev I have pushed the source for bk-7.3ce-rc1. Please download and test. Most of the changes have been to the build infrastructure and I am most interested if someone has problems building. And please download and build from the source tarball directly. This version decouples a bunch of 3rd party tools. GNU diff and GNU patch are now gone and no longer built as part of bk. The libraries pcre, zlib, lz4, tomcrypt & tommath will now try to use the system’s versions …
