  +  FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - 08-Aug-2003
  +
  +    The OpenPKG project releases version 1.3 of the
  +    unique cross-platform software packaging facility.
  +
  +  http://www.openpkg.org/ -- Munich, DE -- August 08, 2003 -- The
  +  OpenPKG project is proud to announce version 1.3 of its OpenPKG
  +  software. A flexible and powerful software packaging facility, OpenPKG
  +  eases the cross-platform installation and administration of Unix
  +  software.
  +
  +  Mainly serving system administrators of large networks, OpenPKG leverages
  +  proven technologies like Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) to provide additional
  +  isolation from the underlying operating system. Being fully self contained,
  +  it does not require RPM to be previously installed. Administrators using
  +  OpenPKG 1.3 benefit from official support on FreeBSD 4.8 and 5.1, Debian
  +  GNU/Linux 2.2 and 3.0, and Sun Solaris 8 and 9. Thanks to its portable
  +  nature, many other operating system versions along with different hardware
  +  architectures enjoy limited support.
  +
  +  Since the release of OpenPKG 1.2 a half year ago, the official OpenPKG
  +  repository has grown from 450 to 570 packages, measuring over 900
  +  Megabytes of source code. This package repository is publicly accessible
  +  (ftp://ftp.openpkg.org), and includes proven versions of popular Unix
  +  software like Apache, BIND, GCC, GnuPG, MySQL, OpenSSH, Perl, Postfix,
  +  Samba and teTeX -- all preconfigured for easy deployment. Regular
  +  security advisories alert users of vulnerabilites and important update
  +  considerations.
  +
  +  OpenPKG 1.3 introduces several new features...
  +  The native openpkg-tool application, run-command functions, and fake
  +  syslog library were all improved as well.
  +
  +  HIGHLIGHTS OF OPENPKG
  +
  +  * Entirely based on Open Source Software technology.
  +  * Portable across mostly all major Unix platforms.
  +  * Official support for FreeBSD 4/5, Debian 2/3 and Solaris 8/9.
  +  * Minimum operating system intrusion and dependency.
  +  * Minimum overhead in software packaging.
  +  * Easy installation, updating and deinstallation of packages.
  +  * Over 360 carefully selected and released packages available.
  +  * Bundled with useful package preconfigurations.
  +  * Supports multiple system instances.
  +  * Supports proxy packages.
  +  * Supports build-time package variations.
  +  * Abstracted run-command facility.
  +
  +  HISTORY OF THE OPENPKG PROJECT
  +
  +  The OpenPKG project was founded in 2000 by Cable & Wireless Germany's
  +  Internet Services division. In January 2002 it was released by
  +  Cable & Wireless to the public as Open Source software. Since then
  +  OpenPKG is maintained and improved by its original developers and
  +  contributors from the Open Source community and is a mature technology
  +  in production use. OpenPKG is the brainchild of Ralf S. Engelschall,
  +  team leader of Development in Internet Services and principal author
  +  of numerous other widely used Open Source Software technologies
  +  like Apache SSL/TLS Engine (mod_ssl), Apache URL Rewriting Engine
  +  (mod_rewrite), GNU Portable Threads (Pth), GNU Portable Shell Tool
  +  (Shtool), and Website META Language (WML).
