The Encap package management system is an alternative to the standard Unix approach to installing local software in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/man etc. Instead software is installed in /usr/local/encap, and running the epkg program creates symbolic links to the /usr/local/ directories. This gives better accountability for the software and more flexibility in upgrading software versions.

Famous quotes containing the words management and/or system:
“This we take it is the grand characteristic of our age. By our skill in Mechanism, it has come to pass, that in the management of external things we excel all other ages; while in whatever respects the pure moral nature, in true dignity of soul and character, we are perhaps inferior to most civilised ages.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
“Each generation’s job is to question what parents accept on faith, to explore possibilities, and adapt the last generation’s system of values for a new age.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
