New in version 3.0.0.

Added in 3.0.0, the Package family of classes is the core of PKGBUILDer. They are responsible for storing package data in a consistent way. All class entries are Pythonic.

Historic note: whenever ABS is used, it means repository package. The ABS tool was deprecated in 2017 and replaced by ASP; however, PKGBUILDer uses that abbreviation to refer to packages that are in Arch repositories.

The Package class, the most important class in PKGBUILDer.
