Software installation and packaging is provided through Ipkg. It is similar to Debian’s packaging system in operation – packages are downloaded on the fly, and all other required packages (dependencies) are automatically installed for you when installing a package. There are nice front-ends available for Opie and GPE that let you get the latest package lists and choose which packages to install/upgrade.
