The last time we tried anything on Tru64 was with Tru64 5.1 about two
years ago (around the time of OpenPKG 2.1 as you found out). Tru64 is
such a horrible OS that we finally installed FreeBSD/alpha on the box
and later not even had the box available at all any more. So, currently
the OpenPKG Foundation has neither Tru64 nor Alpha resources available
at all. Hence we cannot really help you with this platform. But Tru64
4.0 I would not even try seriously. It is a very old platform and I
guess RPM will not even build on this because of some totally unportable
parts in RPM itself (which unfortunately require tweaking for every
particular OS).
