              RELEASE NOTES for multilibpkg 1.3.131002
------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. WHAT'S NEW

With this maintenace release, users can now easily specifiy the multilib
packages to blacklist (i.e that must not be installed) inside the 
configuration's file /etc/multilibpkg/multilibpkg.conf.

For instance, to avoid installation of multilib version of packages gcc
and glibc-zoneinfo, the variable BLACKLIST must be redefined as below into 
the configuration's file /etc/multilibpkg/multilibpkg.conf :

        BLACKLIST=( "gcc" "glibc-zoneinfo" )

Any of the basenames specified into this variable can be a regular expression. 
With that, it is possible to easily blacklist all the multilib gcc packages :

        BLACKLIST=( "gcc.*" )

2. UPGRADING AND CONFIGURATION'S FILES

Users who upgrade from any previous version must pay attention to the new
configuration files below :

  /etc/multilibpkg/multilibpkg.conf.new
  /etc/multilibpkg/mutlilib-mirrors.new
  /etc/multilibpkg/slackware64-mirrors.new
