OpenPKG is a versatile and robust software packaging solution that offers flexibility to users.
Rather than dealing with the complexities of nonconformant systems, OpenPKG consolidates different vendor approaches into a unified architecture that makes it easy to administer large networks. This is achieved by leveraging proven technologies like Red Hat Package Manager (RPM), which provides an additional system layer on top of the operating system.
One of the most notable features of OpenPKG is that it's fully self-contained, requiring minimal external dependencies for installation. This means that you don't need to pre-install RPM, and it installs itself using a tricky bootstrapping procedure that minimizes operating system intrusion.
Additionally, OpenPKG is designed to support multiple installation instances on the same system, making it a great choice for environments where you need to manage multiple applications in parallel. With its power and flexibility, OpenPKG is an excellent choice for any organization that needs to manage Unix software across multiple platforms.
