FAQ Added!
Aug 20th
After having some good conversations with Pawan Neupane over the past couple of weeks, he recently presented me with a list of questions he had regarding not only Keryx in general, but the underlying architecture, which essentially was the basics of apt. Since most hardcore users will be using other applications like apt-offline or the synaptic download scripts, I felt this was probably something many users might also be having problems with. I have posted our question/answer session on the wiki in the form of a FAQ which you can find here: http://keryxproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=FAQ.

0.92.3 Bug Release
Aug 9th
Although 0.92 has been left out in the rain, the development team has decided to hand it an umbrella. One of the irritating things about earlier releases of 0.92 was that it would download the same files, though they were already in the packages folder, overwriting the old ones and wasting bandwidth. That’s behind us now, thanks to modifications made by jaseen that cause Keryx to skip files that have already been downloaded.
Also, Keryx 0.92.3 downloads not only dependencies, but also pre-dependencies and recommends, ensuring that you will get all the packages you need to install your software.
