That's right despite the point where bootstrap package hooks into the base system. Basically, the boostrap adds a limited number of users and groups, registers in the systems crontab and startup scripts. That's is, just some very basic things. Unfortunatelly most Linux distributions tend to implement most basic things most differently. So we need these kind of adjustments in the bootstap package (called 'openpkg' itself) for every different implementation. So I guess, currently adding users and groups and registering in /etc/openpkg will work under Arch Linux. Altering system crontab and hooking into startup script mechanism will fail. So if you can life with the limitations, that cron jobs of OpenPKG packages and automatic starting of daemons will not work, you can check out OpenPKG of course. If you provide as with information and/or patches how to implement the missing functionality we would be happy to add Arch Linux support to OpenPKG. -- christoph schug <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ______________________________________________________________________ The OpenPKG Project www.openpkg.org User Communication List [email protected]
