Now Available: OpenPKG Enterprise 1 Pro =======================================
The OpenPKG GmbH this week released the OpenPKG Enterprise 1 Pro, an online variant of the resellable product OpenPKG Enterprise 1. OpenPKG Enterprise 1 Pro is tailored for SMEs and professionals, replaces OpenPKG Community 2-STABLE and this way fills the gap between OpenPKG Community CURRENT and OpenPKG Enterprise 1. Both OpenPKG Enterprise offerings share exactly the same package pool and are very similar to operate. Changes are predominantly organizational. The OpenPKG Enterprise 1 Pro is a pure online product. The biggest technical difference to its big brother is the online addiction in terms of mandatory daily registry uploads, the restricted browsing access to the pool and the inability to create a local mirror of packages. That said, the new product can be exclusively purchased through an online shop, it is intrinsically tied to the OpenPKG Fellow who activates it and bound to the server it is activated for. As a return it is available for a very low-priced subscription fee at just about 10% of the price of the regular OpenPKG Enterprise 1 product. The new OpenPKG Enterprise 1 Pro empowers SMEs and professionals with capabilities previously only available for a much higher fee. From-Scratch Evaluation of OpenPKG Enterprise 1 Pro --------------------------------------------------- 1. Go to https://e1.openpkg.com/download/eval/E1.0/SRC/CORE/ and login with your OpenPKG Fellow email address and password. If you still have not enrolled as an OpenPKG Fellow, go to http://my.openpkg.org/ first and perform your account enrollment first, please. Then fetch the file openpkg-E1.0.3-E1.0.3.src.sh 2. Establish your OpenPKG instance, say under /openpkg: # install bootstrap package $ sh openpkg-*.src.sh \ --prefix=/openpkg --tag=openpkg \ --user=openpkg --group=openpkg $ sh openpkg-*-openpkg.sh 3. Install arbitrary E1.0-RELEASE packages, for instance an Apache webserver with mod_ssl: # enable download access $ /openpkg/bin/openpkg activate EVAL # install Apache package $ /openpkg/bin/openpkg build \ -D apache::with_mod_ssl apache | sh 4. If you like OpenPKG Enterprise 1, purchase your OpenPKG Enterprise 1 Pro entitlement key in the online shop under http://e1.openpkg.com/go/shop. The recommended offer is PRD-OPE-1.x-EPRO (1Y). Upon payment you will immediately receive your OpenPKG Enterprise 1 Pro entitlement key which you can use to (re-)activate your instance for full access to the E1.0-SOLID package pool containing the necessary update packages. # upgrade download access $ /openpkg/bin/openpkg activate <key> # upgrade packages $ /openpkg/bin/openpkg build -Ua | sh Upgrading from OpenPKG Community 2-STABLE to OpenPKG Enterprise 1 Pro --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.
