Jose E. Marchesi <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: Emacs Packaging Tool
System name: ept
Type: GNU

Description:
EPT intend to be an (GNU) Emacs Packaging Tool.

The goal is to set up a full featured GNU Emacs packaging
infrastructure, with two main objetives:

* An easy maintaining of a per-user local 
  emacs-site (at ~/emacs-site), instead of 
  usually chaotic ~/myemacs directory present
  in hundred of home directories in the world :)

* Make the installation of the several elisp
  extensions more easy. This will enhance the
  sharing of these extensions (W3, erc, tramp, etc).

EPT is highly inspired in Debian\'s apt packaging tool. 
All files (includying the .epk packages and the databases)
are written in elisp. This includes version management and
support for several remote sources for packages (ftp, http, ...)


Other Software Required:
Any Emacs flavor (it is preferible GNU Emacs :)

Other Comments:
There are some code already written, so i am able to 
do M-xept-search and M-xept-update 

But much more work must be done
