+
+ FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - 25-Feb-2004
+
+ The OpenPKG project releases version 2.0 of the
+ unique cross-platform software packaging facility.
+
+ http://www.openpkg.org/ -- Munich, DE -- February 25, 2004 -- The
+ OpenPKG project is proud to announce version 2.0 of its OpenPKG
+ software. Well known by vigilant Unix system administrators, OpenPKG
+ is the world leading instrument for deployment and maintenance of Open
+ Source software when administration crosses Unix platform boundaries.
+ The unique OpenPKG architecture leverages proven technologies like
+ Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) to establish a unified administration
+ environment, independent of the underlying operating system.
+
+ NEW IN VERSION 2.0
+
+ OpenPKG 2.0 now fully supports FreeBSD 4.9 and 5.2, Debian GNU/Linux
+ 3.0 and 3.1, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and Fedora Core 1, SuSE Linux
+ 9.0, and Sun Solaris 8, 9 and 10. The CORE applications are also
+ supported on Debian GNU/Linux 2.2, Red Hat Linux 9, SuSE 8.2, Gentoo
+ 1.4 and Solaris 2.6. The portable nature enables additional platforms
+ to leverage portions of OpenPKG technolgy on NetBSD, OpenBSD and
+ Mandrake Linux [FIXME HP Tru64, SCO UnixWare and QNX]
+
+ Since the previous release a half year ago, the OpenPKG package
+ repository has again grown by more than 10%. A subset of 500 packages were
+ selected for inclusion into the OpenPKG 2.0 release,
+ including proven versions of popular Open Source Unix software like
+ Apache, BIND, GCC, INN, MySQL, OpenSSH, PostgreSQL, Samba, Squid,
+ and Vim. All packages were tuned to work with the latest GNU C/C++
+ compiler.
+
+ [... outdated NEWS: one paragraph line, one rc ...]
+
+ Finally, the essential bootstrapping package was functionally
+ enhanced, reduced in distribution size, made more robust and its
+ system requirements were relaxed even further.
+

+ HISTORY OF THE OPENPKG PROJECT
+
+ The OpenPKG project was founded in 2000 by Cable & Wireless, who first
+ released it as Open Source software in January 2002. Today OpenPKG is
+ a mature technology in production use, and is maintained and improved
+ by its original developers and volunteer contributors.
+
+ OpenPKG is the brainchild of Ralf S. Engelschall, principal author of
+ numerous other popular 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), Website
+ META Language (WML) and more.
