Hello Alex,

Try not to mix release and current packages, even though I believe in this
case you could use the current with no problems. So find the tool here:

  $ ftp ftp.openpkg.org
  ftp> cd release/1.3/SRC/PLUS/
  ftp> get openpkg-tool-1.3.0-1.3.0.src.rpm

    or

  $ wget ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/1.3/SRC/PLUS/openpkg-tool-1.3.0-1.3.0.src.rpm

Then install it.

  $ /cw/bin/rpm --rebuild openpkg-tool-1.3.0-1.3.0.src.rpm

You get the idea. By the way, its not just possible but very easy as well to
bootstrap an OpenPKG instance to a non 'cw' directory. You can use any name
that you want to, however if you install a binary package from the OpenPKG
repository (which is not advised as Bill Campbell mentioned), then it will
install to '/cw' only.
