Anarchist Package System - Summary

This group is not part of the GNU Project.

The purpose of this project is to create a package system                       for the GNU OS. That system would exploit the features that                     the Hurd provides in order to build it upon a consistent,                       modular set of interfaces.

It will follow the line marked by Richard Stallman's idea on using filesystems to manage packages, and getting UnionFS to put "install" them. In addition, it will include features that allow distribution of system software through the GNUnet network.   
                                                                                      The distribution system works in an anarchistic way. Every             contributor would be allowed to upload his/her work, then the                   user community would evaluate it democraticaly so that the                      distribution system could use GPG and a set of complex rules to                 etermine wether a package can be trusted, wether its quality                    is acceptable, wether it follows the free software philosophy, etc.
