+ =================================================
+
+ o Vendor Refresh Release
+
+ This OpenPKG release is a refresh to its predecessor
+ containing the latest vendor packages.
+
+ o Supported Platforms
+
+ OpenPKG 2.1 classifies the following platforms "supported" which
+ means all CORE+BASE+PLUS sources work and CORE+BASE binaries are
+ available.
+
+ ix86-debian3.0 Debian GNU/Linux 3.0
+ ix86-fedora2 RedHat Fedora Core 2
+ ix86-freebsd4.10 FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE
+ ix86-freebsd5.2 FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT
+ ix86-rhel3 RedHat Enterprise Linux 3 ES
+ ix86-solaris9 Sun Solaris 9/x86
+ ix86-suse9.1 SuSE Linux 9.1
+ sparc64-solaris8 Sun Solaris 8
+ sparc64-solaris9 Sun Solaris 9 (Forte-C)
+
+ OpenPKG 2.1 classifies support for the following platforms
+ "tentative" which means all CORE sources work, most BASE+PLUS
+ sources work and only CORE binaries available.
+
+ alpha-freebsd5.2 FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT
+ hppa-hpux11.11 HP UX 11.11
+ ix86-debian3.1 Debian GNU/Linux 3.1-pre
+ ix86-gentoo1.4.16 Gentoo Linux 1.4.16
+ ix86-mandrake10.0 Mandrake Linux 10
+ ix86-netbsd1.6.2 NetBSD 1.6.2
+ ix86-solaris10 Sun Solaris 10/x86
+ sparc64-netbsd1.6.2 NetBSD 1.6.2
+ sparc64-solaris10 Sun Solaris 10
+
+ OpenPKG 2.1 classifies support for the following platforms
+ "obsolete" which means all CORE sources work, most BASE+PLUS
+ sources work and only CORE binaries available.
+
+ ix86-rhl9 RedHat Linux 9
+ ix86-suse9.0 SuSE Linux 9.0
+ sparc64-solaris2.6 Sun Solaris 2.6
+
+ OpenPKG 2.1 does not come with binaries for other platforms.
+ No binaries are provided for PLUS packages.
+ Updates are only available as source packages.
+
+ Packages with a class different from CORE, BASE, PLUS are not part
+ of the release. They are only available as CURRENT source packages.
+
+ o New openpkg-tools package
+
+ This new package provides tools for administrators and developers.
+
+ o Dropped legacy commands
+
+ The official command line user interface to rpm is the
+ %{l_prefix}/bin/openpkg command multiplexer with the "rpm"
+ subcommand. The direct execution of %{l_prefix}/bin/rpm is no
+ longer available. For more information see "%{l_prefix}/bin/rpm and
+ %{l_prefix}/bin/rpm2cpio deprecated" in the OpenPKG 2.0 section of
+ the upgrade.txt file.
+
+ o Debian 3.1 (sarge) install-info issue solved
+
+ The hack described for OpenPKG 2.0 is no longer required.
+
+ o Some workarounds for known OpenPKG 2.0 issues still apply
+ - issue with RedHat FC1 and EL3
+ - issue with RedHat Enterprise Linux 3 nptl-devel package
+ - issue with RedHat Fedora Core 1 /proc/sys/kernel/exec-shield
