Re: Autopackage @ LinuxTag in Berlin

Thanks for the feedback. Here's the new version:

Autopackage is a free computer package management system aimed at
making it simple to create a package that can be installed on all
Linux distributions and have that package integrate well into the
desktop environment. It is intended to be used for installing non-core
applications such as word processors, web browsers, and personal
computer games, rather than core libraries and applications.

Its goal is to make it possible to create only one package for all
kinds of Linux distribution to make software distribution easy for
both developers and users. For example an Autopackage only needs one
package for 32 bit and 64 bit machines. Furthermore binary
compatibility issues are solved using Apbuild, a wrapper around GCC
which makes it possible to solve bogus dependencies and different
versions of glibc.

Autopackage is a complementary system to a distribution's usual
packaging system, such as RPM and deb. Since it's possible to install
Autopackages into the home directory without root access it's more
safe to install software from an untrusted source with an Autopackage
rather then the package manager.
