osunix / ospkg (http://osunix.org/community/ospkg)
ospkg is a fork of pkgcore which aims to add innovative features that are unacceptable to the current pkgcore developers. This will include a better handling of QA through QA sets, defining package boundaries and a policy based system that replaces the package.* configs. In addition we'll add better docs, error handling/reporting, and a much improved ability to build multiple binary formats. (eg. debs, oxe and possibly rpm) ospkg will tie seamlessly into smart package manager to function as tightly coupled complete solution
