This reverts commit fcc58ff506
because it breaks lxc container creation; ponce stated on LQ
that "seems that forcing $CONF under $ROOT is what break things
here: $CONF in the template is used to have a temporary location,
outside of the container, in which to store the template, a
blacklist and a mirror configuration for the container creation"
This adds ./$PKGMAIN/ to a blacklisted set line, which
ought to say turn kde/ into ./slackware64/kde as it listed in the
temp pkglist. I've tightened up the patches/pasture/extra etc. lines
too.

This should fix blacklisting of entire package sets; thanks much
to David Woodfall (dive) for this. Note that the sample blacklist
file has changed to reflect the new syntax for blacklisting sets
(add a trailing slash, e.g. "kde/")
Blacklisted sets now need a trailing / (eg. kde/)
Anything with a trailing slash is excluded from having \s added to it.
Then the slash is removed so the set is picked up by the old
functionality.

- Allow blacklisting of individual packages without collateral
damage (e.g. glibc ---> glibc-*). This changes the prior behavior
of the blacklist function; previously, adding "glibc" to the
blacklist would cause glibc, glibc-profile, glibc-zoneinfo, et al
to be ignored by slackpkg. The new behavior is that *only* the
glibc package is ignored. If you want to blacklist all packages
whose names begin with glibc, you would need to add "glibc.*" to
the blacklist now. Also note that any special characters, e.g. "+",
will need to be escaped in the blacklist file. (David Woodfall)
- Add support for listing .new files without PAGER (David Woodfall)
- Remove switch.ch mirrors
- Add config option to allow *not* saving .orig configs (Darren Austin)
- Mention possible stale mirror if CHECKSUMS.md5 gpg verify fails
- Clarify that a press of "Enter" is needed to confirm kernel change
(Mario Preksavec)
- doinst.sh Don't remove ChangeLog.txt upon upgrade/reinstall.
(Patrick Volkerding)
- mirrors-x86*.sample: Remove bjtu.edu.cn mirror
- Fix for /var/log/packages/ possibly being a symlink to elsewhere
- Use CHECKSUMS.md5.asc to determine ChangeLog newness
(Patrick Volkerding)
In short, it seems impossible to blacklist some packages without
catching other undesirable packages. As an example, blacklisting
glibc will also catch glibc-zoneinfo (and the other glibc-*)
packages. It would be good to have the ability to blacklist only
the glibc package without it catching the others.
With this change, if sysadmin wants the blacklist to be "greedy,"
then adding "glibc.*" to the blacklist will do that.

When admins choose to allow slackpkg new-config to overwrite
currently installed config files with the .new counterparts
from an upgraded package, slackpkg has traditionally created
backups of the config files first, with the backups being
written out with .orig extensions. This commit does not change
the default behavior, but it does allow it to be turned off.
TLDR: set "ORIG_BACKUPS" to "off" in /etc/slackpkg/slackpkg.conf
if you do not wish to have .orig files left over
