michael@13 68 =head1 DESCRIPTION
michael@13 69
michael@13 70 OpenPKG is the world leading instrument for deployment and maintenance
michael@13 71 of Open Source software when administration crosses Unix platform
michael@13 72 boundaries. The OpenPKG project is a collaboration effort with the
michael@13 73 goal of creating and maintaining portable and easy to install software
michael@13 74 packages for use on the major Unix server platforms.
michael@13 75
michael@13 76 The unique OpenPKG architecture leverages proven technologies like
michael@13 77 Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) to establish a unified administration
michael@13 78 environment, independent of the underlying operating system. OpenPKG
michael@13 79 is completely self-contained and does not even need a preinstallation
michael@13 80 of RPM. Instead, RPM is provided as an OpenPKG RPM package itself plus
michael@13 81 a tricky bootstrapping procedure in order to allow one to create from
michael@13 82 scratch the initial state of the whole OpenPKG software packaging
michael@13 83 system.
