+ FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - XX-Jan-2003
+
+ The OpenPKG project releases version 1.2 of the
+ unique cross-platform software packaging facility.
+
+ http://www.openpkg.org/ -- Munich, DE -- January XX, 2003 -- The OpenPKG
+ project today announces the availability of the OpenPKG 1.2 software.
+ A flexible and powerful software packaging facility, OpenPKG eases
+ the cross-platform installation and administration of Unix software.
+ Consolidating different vendor approaches into a unified architecture,
+ it serves system administrators of large networks previously burdened
+ by non-conformant systems. OpenPKG leverages proven technologies like
+ Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) and provides an additional system layer
+ on top of the operating system. With OpenPKG, a unique method of
+ cross-platform software deployment is taking form.
+
+ Compared with earlier releases, OpenPKG 1.2 offers even more.
+ Previously with 274 released packages, the official OpenPKG repository
+ has grown by over XX% to 452 from which 361 software packages of class
+ CORE, BASE and PLUS found their way into OpenPKG 1.2. Preexisting
+ packages are in top form after upgrades to newer versions.
+
+ OpenPKG users now enjoy official support on FreeBSD 4.7, FreeBSD 5.0,
+ Debian GNU/Linux 2.2, Debian GNU/Linux 3.0, Sun Solaris 8 and Sun
+ Solaris 9. Additionally OpenPKG CORE and BASE class packages are known
+ to work

+
+ ABOUT THE OPENPKG PROJECT
+
+ OpenPKG is a software packaging facility for Unix computers, and targets
+ the major server platforms FreeBSD, Linux and Solaris. While internally
+ based on RPM version 4, OpenPKG is a self-contained system with minimal
+ dependencies (no RPM preinstallation required) and installs itself by
+ means of a tricky bootstrapping procedure. OpenPKG eases and controls
+ the management of a large or diverse base of software across one or more
+ of its supported platforms.
+
+ OpenPKG is a project founded 2000 by Cable & Wireless Germany's Internet
+ Services division. In January 2002 it was released by Cable & Wireless
+ to the public as Open Source software. Since then OpenPKG is maintained
+ and improved by its original developers and contributors from the Open
+ Source community and is a mature technology in production use. OpenPKG
+ is the brainchild of Ralf S. Engelschall, team leader of Development in
+ Internet Services and principal author of numerous other widely used
+ Open Source Software technologies like Apache SSL/TLS Engine (mod_ssl),
+ Apache URL Rewriting Engine (mod_rewrite), GNU Portable Threads (Pth),
+ GNU Portable Shell Tool (Shtool), and Website META Language (WML).
