+
+ FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - 20-Oct-2004
+
+ The OpenPKG project releases version 2.2 of the
+ unique cross-platform software packaging facility.
+
+ http://www.openpkg.org/ -- Munich, DE -- October 20, 2004 -- The
+ OpenPKG project is proud to announce version 2.2 of its OpenPKG
+ software, another evolutionary step after a series of six
+ predecessors within three years.
+
+ Much valued by IT decision makers and beloved by Unix system
+ administrators, OpenPKG is the world leading instrument for deployment
+ and maintenance of Open Source Unix software when administration
+ crosses platform boundaries. The unique OpenPKG architecture leverages
+ proven technologies like Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) and OSSP
+ and GNU components to establish a unified software administration
+ environment, independent of the underlying Unix operating system.
+
+ NEW IN VERSION 2.2
+
+ OpenPKG 2.2 is available for 18 different Unix flavors. Most notably,
+ it is supported on FreeBSD 4.10 and 5.3, Debian GNU/Linux 3.0, Red
+ Hat Enterprise Linux 3, Red Hat Fedora Core 2, SuSE Linux 9.1, and
+ Sun Solaris 8 and 9. Additionally, all CORE and the vast majority of
+ BASE class packages are already available for the tentative platforms
+ NetBSD 1.6.2, Debian GNU/Linux 3.1, Gentoo Linux 1.5.3, Mandrake Linux
+ 10.0, Sun Solaris 10 and HP HP-UX 11.11 and they are still available
+ for the obsoleted platforms SuSE Linux 9.0 and Sun Solaris 2.6.
+
+ Since the previous release four months ago, the OpenPKG package
+ repository has again grown by 8%. A subset of 528 packages were
+ carefully selected for inclusion into the OpenPKG 2.2 release,
+ including latest versions of popular Open Source Unix software like
+ Apache, Bash, BIND, GCC, INN, Mozilla, MySQL, OpenSSH, Perl, Postfix,
+ PostgreSQL, Samba, Squid, teTeX and Vim.
+
+ The major technical efforts for this release were spent on ...FIXME...

+ HISTORY OF THE OPENPKG PROJECT
+
+ The OpenPKG project was founded in 2000 by Ralf S. Engelschall and
+ the sponsor Cable & Wireless. It was first released 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 OSSP
+ components, 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 many more.
