The OpenPKG project
released
version 2.2 of their unique RPM-based cross-platform Unix software
packaging facility. OpenPKG 2.2 consists of 528 selected (from a
pool of 800) packages which include latest versions of popular Unix
software like Apache, Bash, BIND, GCC, INN, Mozilla, MySQL, OpenSSH, Perl,
Postfix, PostgreSQL, Samba, Squid, teTeX and Vim -- all carefully
packaged for easy deployment on 18 different Unix platforms, including
FreeBSD 4.10/5.3, Debian GNU/Linux 3.0/3.1, Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 3, Fedora Core 2, SuSE Linux 9.0/9.1, and Sun Solaris
2.6/8/9/10.
The major technical efforts for this release were spent on reducing the
requirements on the underlying Unix platforms and further improving the
portability of our packages. Additionally, we ensured that a smooth
upgrade path exists from OpenPKG 2.1.
