xbps-0.42 (???):
* Get rid of repodata index-files, that contained all pkg files of a repository
in the archive. That file was so huge that incresed the repository archive
size by 8x. That means that `xbps-query -Ro` will now make N parallel connections
to the remote server to inspect the binary packages remotely; if the binary
package is in cachedir, no network connection to the remote server will be
established. This reduces the size of the main x86_64 repository (4000 packages)
to 700KB, compared to 4.5MB previously.
* xbps-create(8): fixed issue #64 "xbps-create(8) incorrect installed-size with hardlinks".
