Where is the main web site for OPKG?

Who are the maintainers?

My no 1 wish on package systems is policy. The signing is good infrastructure, but functionality is lacking:

1) Install script must be optional, end user applications should not need them in general (think ipkg can do this).

2) There need to be possible to set a policy for witch packages may have scripts (based on package source and/or signature).

It's fairly reasonable to run semi trusted software as a regular user, and SE-linux going more and more mainstream makes it even more and more reasonable.

But it's not reasonable to give a semi-trusted package maintainer full root-access.
