I am pleased to announce the release of epkg-1.0.
epkg is a free, open source package manager which uses the Encap
package management system. The Encap system provides a completely
automated way to install, remove, upgrade, and share third-party
software packages by using symbolic links. Encap is simple and
flexible for system administrators to use, as well as being completely
transparent to users.
This release of epkg falls on the 18 month anniversarry of the initial
public release of epkg-0.1 beta. During this time, it has matured
into a powerful, robust, and portable tool. Here at the University of
Illinois, epkg is used in a production environment under AIX, HP-UX,
and Solaris. I have also received reports from people around the
world who use it on other platforms.
The epkg package manager can be obtained from:
http://encap.cso.uiuc.edu/epkg/
It is available as both source code and binary Encap packages for a
variety of platforms.
For more information on the Encap package management system, please
see the WSG Encap Archive:

Enjoy!
