- title="Why are currently only the operating systems Solaris, Linux and

FreeBSD fully supported?">
- To begin with, OpenPKG can be used on any unsupported Unix flavors
- with just a few changes. However, we promise full support only
- to Solaris, Linux and FreeBSD because they are the most popular
- server platforms of the customers at Cable & Wireless Germany.
- Even with this intention, OpenPKG has been ported and tested on
- additional Unix platforms, including Tru64, HP-UX, OpenBSD, NetBSD,
- etc. These additional platforms are not fully supported however,
- because the resources needed to ensure correct package builds for
- them are exhausted.
+ To begin with, OpenPKG works on a number of other Unix variants. It
+ can further be patched with small changes to work on an even larger
+ set of Unix variants. However, we promise full support only to
+ Solaris, Linux and FreeBSD because they are the most popular server
+ platforms of the customers at Cable & Wireless Germany. As is
+ clear from the detailed online documentation, OpenPKG users enjoy a
+ level of partial support for NetBSD, OpenBSD, Tru64, and HP-UX as
+ well. A quick read through the mailing list archive shows that efforts
+ are undergoing or have been made to port OpenPKG to Darwin, AIX, IRIX,
+ and Cygwin. These additional platforms are not fully supported
+ however, because the resources needed to ensure correct package builds
+ at OpenPKG central are simply not sufficient.
