Besides some technical difficulties we found that apt-get seems to work only good with binaries which violates OpenPKG philosophy preferring building from source.

There is a obvious risk in hundrets of vendor packages being updated which are not under our control. So anything can happen. Our build farm tests build, install and erase only. Labs can only test a fraction of the overall possible functions. Only practice can tell. I believe this is the same risk as you would have doing the "configure; make; make install" triple manually or download/ purchase any BSD system or Linux distro. If you prefer the "bugs already known" path then go for 1.3. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], Cable & Wireless ______________________________________________________________________ The OpenPKG Project www.openpkg.org User Communication List [EMAIL PROTECTED]
