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