name: Dennis McRitchie org-name: Princeton University org-url: http://www.princeton.edu/ statement: OpenPKG has been tremendously helpful in our efforts to make Open Source Software available to the entire campus. name: Matt Hoosier org-name: Computer Science Department, Kansas State University org-url: http://www.cis.ksu.edu/ statement: Deployment of the OpenPKG infrastructure on a fleet of Sun Solaris machines has allowed our organization to migrate away from a convoluted, out of date, shared NFS directory to cleanly managed and easily upgraded package system. This is light years ahead of any vendor alternative from Sun. name: Stephan Buys org-name: Code Fusion cc org-url: http://www.codefusion.co.za/ statement: OpenPKG has proven itself time and time again as an excellent base for the Kolab email server. Nowhere else can one deploy such a rich set of applications, so consistently, across so many different platforms. The ability to move between different UNIX platforms and GNU/Linux distributions while maintaining a consistent, high quality, environment is an invaluable tool for any administrator. OpenPKG is a natural choice for any organization or Free Software project that need to support various applications on a plethora of UNIX Operating Systems. name: Christian Reiber org-name: Zeppelin org-url: http://www.zeppelin.com/ statement: OpenPKG allows everyone to understand what is installed on a system and makes consequent use of the package sources. I would like to see every Unix-like system make use of this approach so that installation and upgrade of packages finally lose the aura of magic and adventure. name: Bill Campbell org-name: Celestial Software LLC org-url: http://www.celestial.com/ statement: We are moving all our internal and customer systems to OpenPKG which has simplified our development and support. name: Che Kristo org-name: Contact Centres Australia org-url: - statement: Finally some decent package management for Unix and Linux. OpenPKG deals with all of the headaches so I don't have to. name: Frank Even org-name: Elitists org-url: - statement: OpenPKG has brought new life to a somewhat deprecated version of FreeBSD I am running. It has managed to keep me up to date on all of the major services it provides without having to do a time consuming full system upgrade on a machine in a remote location. I was able to install and make OpenPKG completely functional from a remote terminal all in the course of a day (which included gazing through much of the documentation). name: Jarkko Kniivilä org-name: Ambientia Ltd org-url: http://www.ambientia.net/ statement: One bastard meta-distribution from hell (BMDFH). name: David M. Fetter org-name: Portland State University org-url: http://www.oit.pdx.edu/ statement: The OpenPKG suite is absolutely fantastic! It lowers the overall maintenance cost of supporting open source software across multiple unix flavors on many servers. It also saves me from reinventing the wheel with the generic rpm. That in itself is a lifesaver. Excellent work!
