>Description:
This patch addresses two problems vital for binary only package management tools that rely on the INDEX. The first one, LATEST_LINK is a convenience, but CONFLICTS strikes me as really important.
LATEST_LINK
- Useful to interpret user provided parameters, e.g. pkg_upgrade has 80
lines of code dedicated to guessing package names that look like LATEST_LINK
names
- Can be used to always download the latest available version of a package
CONFLICTS
- Without it packages have to be downloaded to recognize that they conflict with
existing packages
