For slacktrack v2
------------------

- Remove installwatch references
- Ensure fakeroot works with Jose's new thing
- Change licence to BSD
- Drop installwatch

Likely to be done:
==================

This list represents changes that I am likely to implement myself:

1.  Possibly modify slacktrack(8) to make altertrack(8), but
    this is on the back burner at the moment because I *may* merge the
    functionality of altertrack into slacktrack.

Unlikely to be done:
====================

This list represents future additions that (for one reason or another) I am
unlikely to implement.  However, feel free to submit a patch (but ask me first -
I don't like receiving unsolicited attachments!).

2.  Provide an option to altertrack to touch every file on the file system
    (or at least files within specified directories, eg /opt, /var, /etc, /usr)
    This will provide the ultimate in ensuring that nothing is missing from
    the resulting package.  However, it also has some other implications.
    I'm not sure about this one.


3.  Add an option to rename/move .conf files to conf.new
    Suggested by Geoffrey Sanders, based on an option protopkg supports.

    I must admit that I'm not overly keen on this idea - it sounds too much
    like checkinstall -- add a feature that mainly works but breaks when you
    least expect it. 

    Just moving the .conf to .conf.new is okay in theory but it may:
    a) catch people out who rely on the feature but where the config
       file isn't called '*.conf'

    b) if it updates the doinst.sh script, the shell script which changes
       the file name may need to be before or after the symlink creation
       code (if there is any).
