Wow, thank you Lemmit for your tips. I recreated the summary now (mostly copied the good thinks you wrote). I know it's not as good as it should be, but I'm sorry, it's hard for me to write in English and I can't think of anything else to write. I can't add real bullet points since I can only submit the summary via a website. But I'll remember that when creating the poster. Thanks again for your suggestions, they are even more helpful when I'm about to create the poster! Autopackage is a tool for creating and installing software packages compatible with most Linux distributions, including even older versions. Applications like words processors, web browsers and games installed using Autopackage will be completely integrated into your desktop environment. Autopackage provides an easy, unified and compatible way of distributing and installing software for both users and developers. Software using Autopackage comes in a file ending with ".package". Installing autopackages does not require administrator privileges. Thus you can safely install and try out new software without putting your system or other desktop users at risk. Only one package is needed for all types of Linux machines. You don't even need to create two packages for 32 bit and 64 bit machines since Autopackage can integrate both binary types into one package and chose the right one during installation. To help developers create binaries that works across multiple distribution, Autopackage includes a tool called APBuild that works around many portability issues that occur during normal compilation. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: autopackage-dev-unsubscribe-OfajU3CKLf1/[email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: autopackage-dev-help-OfajU3CKLf1/[email protected]
