Package integrity

• Add verification step to the unpacking process

Sanity checking

• Have some form of sanity checking on Package Coordinates. Mostly to make sure people do not come up with divergent schemes.

Extra features

• Support for bundles. A bundle is a meta-package that represents several packages.
  The purpose of a bundle is to make it easier to install entire systems with just one command eg.:

  copkg install com.comoyo:svod-bundle:2.0

• Support for exporting a list of installed packages as list or as a bundle artifact. This can be used to clone setups or to export setups easily as bundles. Eg.:

  • List installed packages and ssh to otherhost and install the list of packages there.

    copkg list | ssh otherhost copkg install -

  • List installed packages and use the package list to create a bundle artifact.

    copkg list -bundle com.comoyo:svod-snapshot-bundle:2.3.4
