1.71 +=head1 DESCRIPTION
1.72 +
1.73 +OpenPKG is the world leading instrument for deployment and maintenance
1.74 +of Open Source software when administration crosses Unix platform
1.75 +boundaries. The OpenPKG project is a collaboration effort with the
1.76 +goal of creating and maintaining portable and easy to install software
1.77 +packages for use on the major Unix server platforms.
1.78 +
1.79 +The unique OpenPKG architecture leverages proven technologies like
1.80 +Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) to establish a unified administration
1.81 +environment, independent of the underlying operating system. OpenPKG
1.82 +is completely self-contained and does not even need a preinstallation
1.83 +of RPM. Instead, RPM is provided as an OpenPKG RPM package itself plus
1.84 +a tricky bootstrapping procedure in order to allow one to create from
1.85 +scratch the initial state of the whole OpenPKG software packaging
1.86 +system.
