michael@13: =head1 DESCRIPTION
michael@13:
michael@13: OpenPKG is the world leading instrument for deployment and maintenance
michael@13: of Open Source software when administration crosses Unix platform
michael@13: boundaries. 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.
