amipkg 0.3 — hardened, cleaner, closer to a real system tool

Hardware-validated on a real A4000/68060. Upgrading from 0.2: replace
C:amipkg and SYS:Tools/amipkg-gui (or just run amipkg upgrade amipkg).

New in 0.3

  • Pre/post-install scripts: recipes can now carry reviewed, inline
    AmigaDOS lines that run before/after installation (assigns, ENVARC
    defaults, tidy-ups) — curated into the signed catalog like everything else.
  • Truly clean removal: amipkg remove now strips the package's
    S:User-Startup blocks, and recipes can ship an uninstall script that is
    saved into the receipt at install time and run at removal.
  • Download resume: interrupted transfers continue where they stopped
    (HTTP Range), including across mirrors — a blessing on slow links.
  • amipkg doctor: audits every installed package against its receipt
    (missing/modified files) and tells you what to reinstall.
  • amipkg install <id> DRYRUN: preview the resolved dependency plan and
    download sizes without changing anything. The GUI now shows this plan in
    the install confirmation.
  • CPU/Kickstart floors: packages that need a better CPU or newer
    Kickstart are refused with a clear message instead of failing obscurely.
  • Version C:amipkg reports the exact build ($VER tags).

Assets

  • amipkg.lha — full bundle: CLI + GUI + signed catalog (offline
    browsing) + double-clickable Install. Start here.
  • amipkg-client.lha — binaries only; what self-update fetches.
