Optware
Template:Short description Template:Gng Optware is a free software package manager for embedded systems. Originally developed as a distribution mechanism for the Unslung Linux distribution for the Linksys NSLU2, Optware has been adopted by a variety of hobbyist communities and device developers.[1][2]
Optware has been used on a number of platforms, including the webOS community working on the Palm Pre[3] and Pixi, the WL-500g, WL-HDD, WL-500gx, WL-500gP Asus routers, Plug computers (Pogoplug V1, V2, Pro, Biz, Dockstars, etc.), Asustor and Synology NAS devices. In late 2010, the first Optware for Android was released by the Novaports team for the Nook Color.
Optware is no longer maintained. The authors have switched to Optware-ng.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
