About
=====

opkbuild is a distribution build system – a set of tools for building
software packages.  From source packages it builds binary packages for
use with the opkg package manager:

    https://code.google.com/p/opkg/

Currently one format of source package is supported by opkbuild:
ProteanOS Source Package Format 2.0:

    http://specs.proteanos.com/spf-2.0/

opkbuild is similar in function to the development library and utilities
of dpkg, the Debian package manager:

    https://packages.debian.org/sid/dpkg-dev
    https://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=dpkg/dpkg.git;a=tree;f=scripts
