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:
“Why not draft executive and management brains to prepare and produce the equipment the $21-a-month draftee must use and forget this dollar-a-year tommyrot? Would we send an army into the field under a dollar-a-year General who had to be home Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays?”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“Television is an excellent system when one has nothing to lose, as is the case with a nomadic and rootless country like the United States, but in Europe the affect of television is that of a bulldozer which reduces culture to the lowest possible denominator.”
—Marc Fumaroli (b. 1932)
