Description: 
 pkg-order  - A Package dependency checker and install ordering tool
Changes: 
 pkg-order (0.05) experimental; urgency=medium
 .
   * Major revamping of code. The emphasis was flexibility.
   * The results of the dependency checks are now persistent (stored with
     the package object), in a class by themselves.
   * The dependency checking is not independent of the ordering process,
     so that we may do dependency steps in one phase, print results and
     check errors in the next, and do ordering in yet another phase
   * Any number of ordering passes may be performed, so one may order using
     Pre-Depends, and then by Depends, and gather together all information
     in another, independent pass, and run tsort on the gathered data.
   * The results are sorted by Type (Pre-Depends, Depends, Conflicts,
     Recommends, and Suggests), and by action Category (Failed, Found, Warn,
     and Conflict). One may print, count, convert to string, byt Type and
     Category, and there are special Types All and Critical (you may set
     what the system thinks are critical type).
   * Now we take care to remember the package that provided the virtual
     package and use that in dependency ordering
   * The dependency checks can be run one type at a time
   * The ordering information maybe gathered one Type at a time (except for
     conflicts; IMHO it does not make sense to order by conflict)
   * The code is far ceaner than the last time; If you get the sources try
     ./debian/rules build;   make test
     to try out the test suite.
   * I ran out of creative energy when trying to rehash the user interface
     of the ordering tool (in this release the ordering tool is provided as
     an example or proof of concept, I concentrated on the underlying
     libraries). I could not come up with anything simple that could even
     begin to exploit all the flexibility i've been building in.
