Compared with earlier releases, OpenPKG version 1.2 offers even more.
The official OpenPKG repository has grown from 274 to include over 360
- released packages. Popular software like Apache, Sendmail, and MySQL
- are available for easy installation. All packages are in top form after
+ released packages. Proven versions of popular software like Apache,

upgrades to new versions.
Several new appealing features exist in OpenPKG version 1.2. A new
approach for package option handling now allows for more flexibility,
- even while conforming to OpenPKG's ongoing consistency standards. A new
- package called 'openpkg-tool' eases maintenance of whole instances, and
- can especially be useful in updating packages with complex dependencies.
- A new false syslog package allows an administrator to redirect log entries
- that would otherwise wind up in the system's generic syslog file. The Perl
- packages were reorganized to maximize utility while avoiding conflicts.
- Lastly, a new automated version tracking system responds to the immediate
- release of new software. Often, a OpenPKG package often exists for
- release-grade software that is yet to be announced by the vendor.
