Open Packages For *BSD
ctg1701 noticed that daemonews was running "a story today about openpackages for *BSD," and says "I am a big fan of the freebsd and openbsd operating systems and having a seamless way of creating packages on these and other platforms would be great. It seems they are also working on porting this over to HPUX and Mac OSX. Very cool stuff. Check it out at http://www.openpackages.org." -
Unified BSD packaging system?
Chris Coleman is putting his money where his mouth is, after his recent suggestion that the BSDs need a unified package collection. The creation of www.openpackages.org was the next logical step, and Chris discusses this in his latest Daemon News editorial. With representatives from the three free BSD projects, as well as Apple (MacOS X) on board, this certainly has the potential to bring about closer ties between the BSD distributions at a level that will affect a lot of users.
