This is the incomplete list of currently implemented features:
* Packages are built from sources in a chroot, thus avoiding dependency
incompatibilities with installed system.
* Automatic compression of manual pages.
* Automatic compression of info files.
* Registers and unregisters info files automatically.
* Registers and unregisters shells in /etc/shells automatically.
* Binary package hash is checked before installing with SHA256 algorithm.
* Before removing a package, the hash of installed files is checked
to found modified files and ignores them if they were modified.
* Configuration files are preserved if they are modified.
* Support for multiple binary local package repositories.
* Support for running a script at pre/post install/remove in binpkgs.
* Support for running triggers at pre/post install/remove in binpkgs.
* Finds and removes orphan packages, i.e packages that were installed
automatically (required by some other package that was installed but
any package currently depends on).
