License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: Mongoose Free OS Distribution System
System name: mongoose
Type: GNU

Description:
The purpose of this project is to create a 100% architecture and kernel 
independent meta-distribution. Basically, this will consist of a package 
manager, which I am calling Mpak, and a set of packages. Mpak will also be 
distribution independent, like RPM. Mpak will be able to calculate and 
automatically be able to build dependencies for all packages, and will have 
support for bootstrapping dependency cycles. It will also have support for 
specifying any features you want compiled into the package, both globally and 
on a per package basis. Many other features are planned!

I have some beginning C++ code I\'ve written for Mpak, which once I clean up, I 
will put into CVS.

Other Software Required:
I\'m using GCC/G++ 3.2, but any C++ compiler with good STL support should do.
