+ ==================
+
+ o Vendor packages updated
+
+ OpenPKG 2.4 reflects the state of vendor software as of June 2005.
+ The release consists of FIXME CORE, BASE, and PLUS class packages.
+
+ o Platforms supported
+
+ A platform is supported when all CORE, BASE, and PLUS class source
+ packages work, and the release contains binary packages for all CORE,
+ BASE, and PLUS classes as well. OpenPKG 2.4 supports the following:
+
+ ix86-debian3.1 Debian GNU/Linux 3.1
+ ix86-fedora3 RedHat Fedora Core 3
+ ix86-freebsd5.4 FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE
+ ix86-netbsd2.0.2 NetBSD 2.0.2
+ ix86-solaris10 Sun Solaris 10
+ ix86-solaris9 Sun Solaris 9
+ ix86-suse9.3 Novell/SUSE Linux 9.3 Professional
+ sparc64-solaris9 Sun Solaris 9
+
+ A platform is 'tentatively' supported when all CORE class source
+ packages alreay work, most BASE and PLUS class source packages
+ work. The release contains binary packages for the CORE class only.
+ OpenPKG 2.4 supports the following:
+
+ amd64-freebsd5.4 FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE
+ ia64-freebsd5.4 FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE
+ ix86-freebsd6.0 FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT
+ ix86-gentoo1.6.12 Gentoo Linux 1.6.12
+ ix86-mandrake10.2 Mandriva 10.2
+
+ A platform is 'obsoleted' when all CORE class source packages still
+ work, most BASE and PLUS class source packages work. The release
+ contains binary packages for the CORE class only. OpenPKG 2.4
+ supports the following:
+
+ ix86-freebsd4.11 FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE
+ ix86-rhel3 RedHat Enterprise Linux 3 ES
+ sparc64-solaris8 Sun Solaris 8
+
+ The OpenPKG 2.3 release does not include binaries for other platforms.
+ No binaries are provided for PLUS packages. Updates (in UPD directory)
+ are only available as source packages.
+
+ Packages with a class other than CORE, BASE, or PLUS are not part
+ of the release. There are many such packages, and most of them belong
+ to the EVAL class. They are available however, and are found in the
+ 'current' subdirectory of the OpenPKG FTP server.
+
+ o SELinux
+
+ Perl modules with C code fail to load with SELinux enabled (seen on
+ ix86-fedora3). The perl-www and perl-par packages even fail during
+ build. SELinux must be disabled.
