    Summary: Decentralised cross-distribution software installation system
    Description: 
    Zero Install is a decentralised cross-distribution software installation
    system available under the LGPL. It allows software developers to
    publish programs directly from their own web-sites, while supporting
    features familiar from centralised distribution repositories such as
    shared libraries, automatic updates and digital signatures. It is
    intended to complement, rather than replace, the operating system's
    package management. 0install packages never interfere with those
    provided by the distribution.
    
    0install does not define a new packaging format; unmodified tarballs or
    zip archives can be used. Instead, it defines an XML metadata format to
    describe these packages and the dependencies between them. A single
    metadata file can be used on multiple platforms (e.g. Ubuntu, Debian,
    Fedora, openSUSE, Mac OS X and Windows), assuming binary or source
    archives are available that work on those systems.
    
    0install also has some interesting features not often found in
    traditional package managers. For example, while it will share libraries
    whenever possible, it can always install multiple versions of a package
    in parallel when there are conflicting requirements. Installation is
    always side-effect-free (each package is unpacked to its own directory
    and will not touch shared directories such as /usr/bin), making it ideal
    for use with sandboxing technologies and virtualisation.
