Since the previous release a half year ago, the OpenPKG package
- repository has grown by 25%. A subset of 400 packages were carefully
- selected for inclusion into the OpenPKG 1.3 release. They are
- classified into the three categories CORE, BASE and PLUS. The former
- two receive full support on all official platforms mentioned earlier
- and both source and binary packages are available for download.
- Service covers fixing portability issues and handling the full
- scope of security tracking for the latest release and its immediate
- predecessor. The OpenPKG team participates in and continuously monitors
- leading security communities.
-
- The released OpenPKG 1.3 packages include proven versions of popular
- Open Source Unix software like Apache, BIND, Binutils, GCC, INN,
- MySQL, NTP, OpenSSH, PostgreSQL, ProFTPd, Samba, Squid, teTex and Vim
- -- all carefully packaged for easy deployment. The whole release has
- been tuned to work with the latest GNU C/C++ compiler version 3.3.
- About 40 packages were identified to use syslog(3) and were enabled
- to use either OSSP fsl (fake syslog library) or the native logging
- facility.

The Run-Command (RC) facility was completely worked off and both
- log file rotation and package upgrade/erase procedures use it's
- new capabilities. Package quality was greatly enhanced by rigorous
