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. + +The unique OpenPKG architecture leverages proven technologies like +Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) 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 RPM. Instead, RPM is provided as an OpenPKG RPM 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. + +=cut +
