OpenPKG is nice and I use it on several servers, but it still requires
you to compile all your software (albeit its much easier to compile a
src.rpm into a bin.rpm). It should also be noted, that the package
selection offered by OpenPKG cannot compete with the likes of Debian
or the *BSD ports / pkgsrc trees.

It's sill very nifty - esp. if you want to customize the installed
software a bit since its relativly easy to modify the spec files or
create custom spec files for some package that is not yet included in
the OpenPKG distribution.
