Hello, all.

Short summary: PMS Test Suite is a suite of tools and a test library
to test any of the Gentoo Package Managers for compliance against
the Package Manager Specification.

The project is running ahead of schedule (as usual :D). This week I
spent mostly improving gentoopm [1] helper project.

Changes in gentoopm:
- support for grabbing packages in vardb and repos (+ stacking repos
  in a nice way, allowing to get same CPV from two different repos),
- getting package metadata, paths,
- filtering, sorting, selecting packages,
- creating and filtering using atoms (including 'lazy' ones, without
  category specified).

All of the above are implemented pretty well for portage, pkgcore
and paludis, including using optimizations for the latter two. The API
is supposedly very portable, though limited ATM.

Changes in pms-test-suite:
- switched to reuse code from gentoopm,
- added epydoc docs.

Next week should bring:
- epydoc in gentoopm,
- package grouping in gentoopm,
- slight cleanup in pmsts.
