HI, I thought you could use openpkg on most distros (from reading docs)
Was more looking at building packages from openpkg in say /openpkg dir for testing purposes is this possible ...? Most of the packages I can get via Arch including building ones that are not but I was interested in Openpkg to see how it works .... So to sum up I would like to be able to test Openpkg in a way that does no mess up my Arch system, but I can run openpkg packages.
