    3352b614 · Command for getting fingerprint of a GPG key. · 
    * Reworked GPG checking a little, it now checks the
  fingerprint as well. For this, there is now a file
  /var/lib/slacker/FINGERPRINT that gets used. Every
  repo has such a file as well. (By default, I'm using
  only Alien BOB's and Robby Workman's repos, so there
  are only two keys actually.)
* Fixed -Y, had to define/initialise a variable as false.
* Fix -N not recognizing packages with a plus in their name.
* slacker now uses information from /etc/slackware-version to
  get the release number.
* Checks for repo directories in /etc and /var are done
  separately now, so that one can remove the corresponding
  dir in /var and it will get re-created automatically (in case
  MK_REPOS is true).

  repositories.

  honors LOCAL_REPO now, to stop nagging about missing MANIFEST files.
* -f: added removepkg functionality via a -R switch (-f -R).
* -N: check if ChangeLog.txt even exists when using -c with -N.
* -x: added a somehwat smarter interface for working with .new files.
  By simply pressing enter, you will now be greeted by a small menu
  which allows to view a diff, edit the .new file, skip or remove it,
  or to move the file over. When moving it over, the old file will
  be backed up using a .bak extension. The old mode is still available
  via pressing m when asked what to do.

  ignored, and in case of CHECKSUMS.md5 missing, the package list will
  get generated using du -a on the local dir.
