 .SH "DESCRIPTION"

 .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"

 OpenPKG is the world leading instrument for deployment and maintenance

 of Open Source software when administration crosses Unix platform

 boundaries. The OpenPKG project is a collaboration effort with the

 goal of creating and maintaining portable and easy to install software

 packages for use on the major Unix server platforms.

 .PP

 The unique OpenPKG architecture leverages proven technologies like

 Red Hat Package Manager (\s-1RPM\s0) to establish a unified administration

 environment, independent of the underlying operating system. OpenPKG

 is completely self-contained and does not even need a preinstallation

 of \s-1RPM\s0. Instead, \s-1RPM\s0 is provided as an OpenPKG \s-1RPM\s0 package itself plus

 a tricky bootstrapping procedure in order to allow one to create from

 scratch the initial state of the whole OpenPKG software packaging

 system.
