The OpenPKG project is a collaboration effort with the michael@13: goal of creating and maintaining portable and easy to install software michael@13: packages for use on the major Unix server platforms. michael@13: michael@13: The unique OpenPKG architecture leverages proven technologies like michael@13: Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) to establish a unified administration michael@13: environment, independent of the underlying operating system. OpenPKG michael@13: is completely self-contained and does not even need a preinstallation michael@13: of RPM. Instead, RPM is provided as an OpenPKG RPM package itself plus michael@13: a tricky bootstrapping procedure in order to allow one to create from michael@13: scratch the initial state of the whole OpenPKG software packaging michael@13: system. michael@13: michael@13: =cut michael@13:
