I am exploring possibilities for managed installation and removal of software on a heterogeneous grid, mostly consisting of Linux and AIX machines. While I am somewhat interested in what apps are currently packaged, I am more interested in learning about the capabilities of OpenPKG in general. For example, is it possible to store all packages on a central server that manages the packages installed on all the various nodes? How does the dependency resolver work? If I uninstall a package, will OpenPKG notify me of any remaining packages that relied on that package? What facilities, if any, are there to package closed-source software (Oracle, DB2, WebSphere, etc.)?
Ok, back to continue reading through the handbook.
Thanks much, Jeremy ______________________________________________________________________ The OpenPKG Project www.openpkg.org Developer Communication List [EMAIL PROTECTED]
