epkg and the database repository have to be updated at the same time

I have added two new slots/rows to the package object/table. As a result the epkg package and the database have to be updated at the same time to the epkg-db-version/PRAGMA 4. Even if you don't do this borg should still be able to initialize the installed drones but you will get errors when trying to assimilate new packages and also when using any functionality provided by epkg.

If you read this before epkg tells you that things are out of sync, then it is best to do this (after quitting Emacs):

cd ~/.emacs.d/lib/epkg
git pull
make
cd ~/.emacs.d/epkgs
git pull

Otherwise epkg will tell you that either it itself or the database or to old:

The installed epkg version requires a new database scheme. Update database now?

Say yes, and things should work again.

Please update the epkg package. The installed version is too old for the current database scheme.

Quit Emacs and do this:

cd ~/.emacs.d/lib/epkg
git pull
make

If things don't work out, then do this:

1. Restart Emacs.
2. If that also fails, then do the things in the first code-block above again. And restart Emacs.

Oh, and I almost forgot. This is the feature that made this necessary: emacscollective/epkg#2

If you need help, then please comment on #34.

Bootstrapping files are now located inside the borg drone

The files Makefile and bin/borg-bootstrap were moved from the emacs.g collective into the borg drone. They were modified a bit and renamed to borg.mk and borg.sh. A new Makefile was added to emacs.g repository. It defines a single target bootstrap-borg, which clones the borg submodule and imports lib/borg/borg.mk.

This should make it easier to create independent configurations that don't derive from emacs.g because the new Makefile will likely have to change much less often. At least eventually -- since this change just happened very recently this might not be true for a few weeks. The old Makefile should continue to work for a while so you don't have to update your ~/.emacs.d just yet.

Due to some make weirdness (or due to my limited make knowledge) it is no longer possible to build a single drone using make lib/DRONE. Instead one has to use make lib/DRONE/build.

If you need help, then please comment on #45.

In fact you should subscribe to that issue since that is where I will post updates on this topic.

Experimental support for using Borg alongside Package.el

Borg can now be installed as a secondary package manager alongside package.el. This is not documented in the manual yet. Please follow the instructions in #46 instead. Beside adding such installation instructions to the manual, I also have to describe use-cases and restructure the manual. This is quite a bit of work and that is why I am making this feature available now with only limited documentation.

If you need help, then please comment on #46.

Epkg and Closql have to be updated at the same time

I've made a backward incompatible change to closql. The result is that epkg has to be updated at the same time as closql. If you have already updated one of these packages, then you should still be able to update the other using Magit and make lib/other.

If you need help, then please comment on #81.

I have released new version of Borg, Epkg, Closql and Emir

The release announcements can be found at https://emacsair.me/2018/10/31/many-releases/.

The package database is now tracked as a text dump
