0.1.0

This is still a BETA, use with caution, although it might actually be safer than mercury.

Removed the old release as currency would complain otherwise

In order to use on a current system follow these steps:

1. Create the /var/lib/neptune /var/lib/neptune/cache, /var/lib/neptune/file-lists, and /etc/neptune
2. Copy /etc/installed_package -> /var/lib/neptune/installed_package and /var/cache/mercury/current -> /var/lib/neptune/current
3. Create the base neptune config

cat > /pkgs/$PACKAGE/etc/neptune/config.yaml << EOF
repositories:
  - "http://ftp2.osuosl.org/pub/tucana-linux/development/mercury/"

system-settings:
  install_path: "/"
  yes_mode_by_default: false
  stream_chunk_size: 8192  
EOF

4. Run a sync
5. Put any 'root' packages in /var/lib/neptune/wanted_package (like gnome, firefox) do NOT put in any dependencies, neptune recalculates system depends on update to see if there are any packages to remove or newly install :)
6. Attempt to run an update whenever ready (you might have to force one by slightly changing the sha256 file in /var/lib/neptune/cache/sha256, expect some removals but look through and make sure you aren't missing anything in your wanted_packages
   BONUS: Neptune now supports removal, but, because of some oddities in the file-lists implementation in mercury, you won't be able to remove right away. The easiest thing to do is backup and clear out your /var/lib/neptune/installed_package, force an update (see steps above) and then get it to regenerate all the file lists.
