\section{ROCK Package} \label{package} \subsection{Introduction}
The \rockl\ package system is pretty straightforward and easy to
understand. Most users are system administrators and the choice
of \filename{bash} over \filename{make} should be considered
pragmatic - shell scripts are much easier to read/write than
make files. It is therefore that \rock\ has its own package
system at this point. Packages are stored in a logical tree
where each package has its own directory. The package can be
stored according to type (i.e. base, gnome2, powerpc) or
maintainer. This chapter just takes one package as an example.
Feel free to roam amongst all the others and pick out contents
and strategies that may fit your needs. \subsection{Description
