Create a pool of worker processes to make indexing in a parallel fashion.
Normally, all metadata parsing and SHA1 calculation process are done
sequentially per package.
This commits distributes all package-based parsing, SHA1 calculation process
to worker processes to make it faster in multiprocessor/multicore systems.
This is the forth alpha for the upcoming 2.4.x releases. This release
introduces two features as well as bug fixes and translation updates.
The first feature which is added in this release is an API addition for
use in buildfarm. With a new method, it is now possible to determine
the old packages that will be used to create delta packages from.
"Build flags" is another feature introduced in this release. Build flags
can be used to enable/disable some operations/packages at build time.
Currently, two flags are accepted: noDebug and noDelta.

Currently, it supports two flags: noDebug, noDelta.
The usage is simple:
<Package>
...
<BuildFlags>
<Flag>noDebug</Flag>
<Flag>noDelta</Flag>
</BuildFlags>
...
</Package>
noDebug flag is used to disable building of a debug package for this
package tag.
noDelta flag is used to disable building of delta packages
automatically. It doesn't change the behaviour of "pisi delta" command.
This will be used by buildfarm. It accepts release numbers to create
delta packages for stable distribution releases. If the release number
is not given, it searches the binary package dirs for old packages and
creates delta packages. max_count can be specified to limit numbers of
delta packages.
It is possible to override search paths via search_paths parameter.
release and max_count parameters cannot be used at the same time.
This commit also removes the max_delta_count option from config file
since it is useless and confusing.
