OpenPackages was originally based on code from the BSD ports systems, and has been improved and extended by developers of many heritages. The OpenPackages Project is pleased to release the Milestone 2 codebase. This release contains a working package building system and a single test package. OP currently is known to build on certain instances of the following operating systems. - FreeBSD - HP/UX=20 - Irix - Linux (Debian, Red Hat, Suse, Mandrake, TurboLinux, Caldera, etc.) - NetBSD - OpenBSD - Solaris Detailed information on systems known to successfully complete the build test can be found in the SUPPORT file: http://www.openpackages.org/release/0.2/SUPPORT ftp://ftp.openpackages.org/op/SUPPORT The release itself, with detached signature, can be found in the following locations: http://www.openpackages.org/release/0.2/op-0.2.tar.gz http://www.openpackages.org/release/0.2/op-0.2.tar.gz.sig ftp://ftp.openpackages.org/op/op-0.2.tar.gz ftp://ftp.openpackages.org/op/op-0.2.tar.gz.sig ftp://mirror.csociety.org/pub/op/op-0.2.tar.gz ftp://mirror.csociety.org/pub/op/op-0.2.tar.gz.sig After downloading the tarball, and verifying its integrity, extract it and in op/tools run "sandboxtest". This should automatically install and try to use the OpenPackages code base on your system, in a sandbox. If you have any problems, let know. Thanks to everyone who helped!
