Sean Callaway <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: EDLinux
System name: edlinux
Type: non-GNU

Description:
EDLinux Package Manager will be a Linux distribution system based on the best 
components of all currently available distribution systems, such as Debian's 
apt-get, Gentoo's eBuild, and Red Hat's Package Manager. If Package Manager 
does well and is well accepted, we could take the time to build a complete 
distribution based on stable Open Source components including the Linux kernel, 
the GNU Compiler Collection, etc.

I currently have no source code available, but will place all code under the 
GNU General Public License. I am using a Debian 3.0 ("Woody") system for 
development, which only includes Open Source Software, so there will not be a 
problem with Closed-Source dependencies. I am using BASH and C for development. 
Right now, I think EDLinux Package Manager will only need glibc, a bzip2 
library, and perhaps the BSD sockets interface, and all of that is free 
software.

Other Software Required:
The libbzip2 library is not found on some systems, but its open-source.
