  This update is a bit scarier than usual, so we're going to test it here
  first and then move it into the main tree in a couple of days if there
  are no serious bug reports. It's well-tested here, and works with the
  slackpkg that's in -current now, but I don't know about slackpkg+ so that's
  another reason to let it cool down here first. The purpose of this update
  is to migrate the package database and directories from /var/log to
  /var/lib/pkgtools. /var/log was never a good place for this data, as it is
  considered by many to be a directory that could be wiped to free up some
  space. Originally the package database was in /var/adm, but the FSSTND
  (later FHS) group decided that directory should be a symlink to /var/log,
  and I went along with that since it was years ago and I was a n00b and didn't
  know any better. /var/lib/pkgtools will be a better and safer location.
  The removed_packages and removed_scripts directories are really just logs
  that aren't actually used for anything - those will remain under /var/log,
  but moved into /var/log/pkgtools. Everything under /var/log will be
  considered potentially non-permanent by the pkgtools - if any directories or
  symlinks disappear from there, the pkgtools will automatically recreate them
  as needed. In fact, the migration process will create symlinks from all the
  old directory locations to the new ones, so anything that expects the old
  locations (including slackpkg, for now) should continue to work. Once this
  moves into the main tree, the plan is to fix other packages to use the new
  installer script directory (/var/lib/pkgtools/setup) and change the installer
  and slackpkg to use the new native locations for everything. When slackpkg
  is changed over to use the new native locations, I'll also make sure to float
  that in testing/ for a few days before moving it to the main tree to avoid
  more unintentional disruption to slackpkg+ users.
  Be aware that the package database migration is a one-way operation, but even
  so if you later downgrade to an older version of the pkgtools it will still
  work through the compatibility symlinks.

+# Quit with the funny business in /install. Note however that /install still

+# metadata. Other files placed there are going to be left on the system in
+# /installpkg-$(mcookie). That could be worked around, but we'll wait until
+# someone reports there is a need. The main reason to do this is that /install
+# was a collision point if more than one copy of installpkg was running at

+Usage: installpkg [options] <package_filename>
+
+Installpkg is used to install a .t{gz,bz,lz,xz} package like this:
+   installpkg slackware-package-1.0.0-i486-1.tgz (or .tbz, .tlz, .txz)
+
+options:      --warn (warn if files will be overwritten, but do not install)
+              --root /mnt (install someplace else, like /mnt)
+              --infobox (use dialog to draw an info box)
+              --terse (display a one-line short description for install)
+              --terselength <length> (line length in terse mode - default is
+                    the number of columns available)
+              --menu (confirm package installation with a menu, unless
+                    the priority is [required] or ADD)
+              --ask (used with menu mode: always ask if a package should be
+                   installed regardless of what the package's priority is)
+              --priority ADD|REC|OPT|SKP (provide a priority for the entire
+                    package list to use instead of the priority in the
+                    tagfile)
+              --tagfile /somedir/tagfile (specify a different file to use
+                    for package priorities. The default is "tagfile" in
+                    the package's directory)
+              --threads <number>  For xz/plzip compressed packages, set the max
+                    number of threads to be used for decompression. Only has
+                    an effect if a multithreaded compressor was used, and then
+                    only on large packages. For plzip, the default is equal to
+                    the number of CPU threads available on the machine. For xz,
+                    the default is equal to 2.
