Jerry Epplin <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: Qplus
System name: qplus
Type: non-GNU

Description:
Qplus is a toolkit for embedding the Linux kernel and a set of user-space 
programs into devices.  It consists of:

- Target Builder -- a Python/wxWindows-based GUI used for configuring the 
kernel and selecting and configuring packages to form the root filesystem.  
Target Builder also transparently builds the kernel and root filesystem and 
prepares them for deployment.

- A set of packages considered useful in embedded systems.  These are standard 
free software packages (e.g., busybox, glibc, among many others) packaged in a 
way similar to RPM.

- A set of board support packages (BSPs), providing information specific to 
each supported target embedded system.

Qplus is important as the first fully free (GPL\'d) toolkit advanced and usable 
enough to compete with the proprietary toolkits from Lineo, MontaVista, and 
others.  With adequate project infrastructure it could meet a genuine and 
growing free software need.  The article at 
http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT5640843706.html provides additional 
information.

Qplus is already a complete and usable system.  It can be downloaded from 
ftp://pc3304a.etri.re.kr/pub/qplus.

Qplus was written by Woochul Kang and Heechul Yun of Korea\'s Electronics and 
Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI).  I\'m Jerry Epplin

soon as project support can be arranged.
