Is there anything I can do while using 1.3? Are there any instructions for creating a virtual RPM with 1.3? ...or will the import package work on 1.3? >> Also.....given all the documentation, I still really have no clue how to use >> lsync.

From what I was reading, I was thinking this was a way to make already installed apps work with the OpenPKG system, to create a "virtual" package. I stand corrected. So, if I customize my "from source" install, and get it to install within the OpenPKG hierarchy, I could then use lsync to pull it into the OpenPKG structure? Thanks for your assistance, and all your work on OpenPKG.
