XBPS has advanced to the point where it's fully working and featureful, ok, there are still some missing features like detecting conflicting packages, installing a binary package directly from an archive (without using repositories) and more... but it's good to the point that I'm pleased to create the public web site. Don't forget that you can see its current state and future development at:
https://launchpad.net/xbps
Not to mention that I didn't want to waste much time on creating the web pages, so this time I used plain text files that are converted to XHTML with asciidoc... what a great tool! it saved me a lot of time in writing the XML/XSLT or XHTML files directly.
The web site contains instructions for testing XBPS in your favourite GNU/Linux x86 distribution, via the static binaries that I provide in the `xbps-devel-static` binary package. So enjoy it, and let me know if you have tried it!

Check out ikiwiki -- in addition to generating arbitrary HTML from various simple input formats (including asciidoc with a 3rd-party plugin) from the command line, it does a bunch more stuff (all optional), like web-editing, collaborative editing, blogging, etc. I find myself using it for all kinds of stuff now. Cool tool. And now I will check out XBPS.
Ah ok, I thought that ikiwiki was something else... thanks for the info.
