1.0

This release should be an industrial-strength product, suitable for broad use, even by non-programmers.

Requirements

• Locate and use pre-installed system components (e.g. libraries)
• Download and install packages (and their dependencies) from binaries
• Handle acceptance and tentative acceptance of patches upstream
• Support for checking integrity of tarballs with a secure hash
• Super-easy to use for end-users who are, e.g., “just installing Boost”
• Collision detection (two packages install the same file)
• Ability to prepare the environment for a named toolchain
• gpg

Notes

At present I’m still looking for clarification of what exactly is meant by the last bullet
