29	29	=== Package/package repository format ===
30	30	* Add a package attribute (string) that specifies a base package of a package. For most ported software, the files resulting from a built are usually separated into different packages (base, develop, debug-info, doc, etc.). All of these packages should be installed in the same installation location, since they have been built with the same installation prefix. In order to enforce such a constraint, one of the packages should be declared in the "requires" list of the others and they should additionally use the new attribute to identify it as the base package.
31		* Remove B_HPKG_ATTRIBUTE_ID_PACKAGE_PROVIDES_TYPE ("package:provides.type"). The type is encoded in the name anyway.
32	31	* Add support for repository keys (public/private) and package signing/check sums, so that it is possible to verify that data retrieved from a repository have not been tempered with.
33	32	* Support compression for the whole heap instead of just for individual file data. This should improve compression rates especially for packages containing many small files with only a small drawback regarding removing/replacing files in packages (potentially the whole heap would have to be recompressed).
