- add `depot repo index [DIR] [--subdir ...]` to generate `depot-index.tsv`
- use deterministic, git-friendly TSV format with package/provides rows
- teach source lookup to prefer repo index files and fall back to TOML scanning
- add index generation/loading/fallback tests
- document new command in README
- add source.cherry_pick (and cherry-pick alias) to package spec parsing/serialization
- apply listed cherry-picks in order after git checkout
- reject cherry_pick on non-git sources with explicit error
- include cherry_pick in interactive spec TOML output
- add parsing/behavior tests and update Source test fixtures
- split CLI definitions and command execution out of main.rs into new cli.rs and commands.rs modules\n- add transaction hook support via /etc/depot.d/hooks/*.toml with pre/post phases, operation/package/path filters, wildcard negation, and optional affected-path stdin\n- execute transaction hooks around install/update/remove operations and add package-action prompts for install/build/remove flows\n- require and verify detached minisign signatures for binary package archives when allow_unsigned=false, including cache handling and tests\n- persist optional dependencies from package metadata into repo index data and include optional deps in produced metadata\n- update dependency/planner logic to ignore dependencies provided by local split outputs and stop pulling test deps into install planning\n- auto-disable tests when required test dependencies are missing instead of hard-failing build/install paths\n- improve autotools defaults by injecting standard install directory flags when supported and preserving user overrides\n- remove static .a archives during staging by default with new build.flags.no_delete_static escape hatch\n- preserve symlinks and file metadata (permissions/timestamps) in extractor fallback copy path and add regression tests\n- refresh README docs for detached package signatures, optional dependencies, and transaction hooks\n- adjust dependency set: add filetime, disable reqwest default features, and simplify git2/OpenSSL linkage
- add BuildType::Meta handling in builder and interactive spec output
- allow metapackage specs without sources and expose is_metapackage()
- avoid build deps in install planning for metapackages
- run custom non-function build.sh scripts with `sh -e` to stop on first failure
- add regression test for custom script fail-fast behavior
- apply small cleanup refactors (let-chains/iterator simplifications)
- add repos.toml source/binary repo configuration with arch overrides and priorities
- add dependency planner/execution plan flow with interactive provider selection and --yes support
- expand binary repo DB metadata (sha512, dependencies, file lists) and repo owns/search helpers
- add rootfs-scoped fd locking and minisign detached signing/verification helpers
- add Meson build/test support for the project with builddir-local CARGO_HOME/CARGO_TARGET_DIR
- install contrib example configs into sysconfdir (/etc/depot.d layout) via Meson
- improve builder env handling (sanitized PATH, tool env passthrough, CXXFLAGS support)
- support += appends in package specs and add build.flags.cxxflags parsing
- prompt for git credentials when private repo auth is required
- update docs/examples and dependency setup (system libs, zstdmt, tempfile pin)
- Improved error handling and context messages in `checkout` function in `git.rs`.
- Updated license field in package specification to use a vector in `hooks.rs`.
- Enhanced `copy_manual_sources` function in `mod.rs` to support both local file and remote URL sources, including checksum verification.
- Added new utility functions for path normalization and skipping installation of specific files in `staging/mod.rs`.
- Implemented logic to handle existing files during installation, allowing for `.depotnew` suffix for kept files.
- Added tests for manual source copying, installation behavior, and path validation.
- Introduced a new LICENSE file with MIT License terms.
- Added StateTracker to manage build steps and allow resuming interrupted builds.
- Updated post_extract function to utilize StateTracker for patch and command execution.
- Introduced makefile.rs to handle building and installing packages via Makefile.
- Created interactive.rs for an interactive package specification creator with SHA256 computation for source URLs.
- Enhanced checksum verification to support multiple algorithms (SHA256, SHA512, MD5).
- Added example configuration files in contrib for system-wide and user-level Depot configurations.
- Updated tests to cover new functionality and ensure correctness of state tracking and interactive creation.
- Implement source-based package management with support for archives and Git
- Add multi-system build support (Autotools, CMake, Meson, Rust/Cargo, Custom)
- Implement atomic installation logic using transactions and fakeroot
- Add dependency resolution for build-time and runtime requirements
- Implement package indexing and local repository management
- Add comprehensive configuration system with system/package overrides
- Include Project guidelines (AGENTS.md) and README.md
