Robert Millan <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: GNU Anarchist Package System
System name: gaps
Type: GNU

Description:
The purpose of this project is to create a package system
for the GNU OS. That system would exploit the features that
the Hurd provides in order to build it upon a consistent,
modular set of interfaces.

It will follow the line marked by Richard Stallman\'s idea
on using filesystems to manage packages, and getting UnionFS
to put \"install\" them. In addition, it will include features
that allow distribution of system software through the GNUnet network.

That distribution system works in an anarchistic way. Every
contributor would be allowed to upload his/her work, then the
user community would evaluate it democraticaly so that the
distribution system could use GPG and a set of complex rules to 
etermine wether a package can be trusted, wether its quality
is acceptable, wether it follows the free software philosophy, etc.

It does not exist yet but I\'m working on it.


Other Software Required:
the GNU Hurd
GnuPG
GNUnet
