pkgmk v5.45 - Release Notes

A documentation-heavy release focusing on consistent manual pages, synchronized CLI usage output, and incremental improvements to pkgmk’s behaviour, messages, and code structure.

Changes

Manual Pages

Broad cleanup and standardization across all pkgmk* man pages (scdoc).
SYNOPSIS refactors, uniform option descriptions, improved SEE ALSO references.
Multiple refinements to pkgmk(8), pkgmk.conf(5), pkgmk.Pkgfile(5), pkgmk.md5sum(5), pkgmk.footprint(5), pkgmk.nostrip(5), and pkgmk.32bit(5).
Improved clarity around exit statuses; added 126/130, E_INTERRUPT, E_CMDEXEC, and updated documentation accordingly.
Cleaned markup, fixed references, improved formatting for readability and consistency.
Added missing man page skeletons and new content where necessary.
