As you know, I've been pro-openpackages all along, and think
it a direction worth pursuing.  Note that it conflicts not
at all with the kind of cfengine stuff I was writing about.

Reservations about openpackages: (a) Seems to have lost lots
of momentum since last summer; (b) every time I've ever run 'cd
.../op/tools && ./sandboxtest' on my sparc-solaris2.6 box,
I've gotten a failure :-(  The current one being the stuff
below.

Relatedly: I have been meaning to mention Ralf Engelschall's
OpenPKG system (http://www.openpkg.org/), which is a
multi-platform RPM-based system.  Arusha stuff could be
built on top of that, too, though I personally prefer a
build-from-source approach.
