This is a huge release and should stay in testing for a while. I want to
point out two significant changes:
1) We now have a build() function instead of an install() function - the
latter was an unfortunate conflict with the install utility. The hooks
in the repository have been adjusted, but backward-compatibility code is
in place (a deprecation warning will be printed). All these packages
have conflicts=(mkinitcpio<0.7).
2) We now use bsdcpio instead of gen_init_cpio. This obsoletes the
gen_init_cpio package and adds a dependency on libarchive. This also
speeds up the image generation considerably.
Other changes include massive cleanups and fixes, code refactoring, and
changes that should finally make the -b (basedir) option useful.
Please test and sign off.
