dpkg 1.0.0: no longer BETA, fix for NIS problem
I no longer consider dpkg beta. That doesn't mean there aren't
features I want to add - I don't think it's "finished" in that sense,
but the functionality is IMO generally sufficient and stable.
Thanks to Bruce for sending me a copy of his tar extractor code that
should no longer trigger the libc bug that caused coredumps with NIS.
dpkg (1.0.0); priority=LOW
* Version 1.0.0: dpkg is no longer beta.
* tar extractor no longer looks up an empty string using getgrnam
(this causes the libc to coredump when using NIS).
