+dak is the collection of programs used to maintain the Debian
+project's archives. It's not yet in a state where it can be easily
+used by others; if you want something to maintain a small archive and
+apt-ftparchive (from apt-utils) is insufficent, I recommend you
+investigate mini-dinstall or debarchiver.
-dak is used on the following platforms :-
+There are some manpages and READMEs in the doc sub-directory. The
+TODO file is an incomplete list of things needing to be done.
-Linux/i386 2.2
-Linux/UltraSparc 2.2
+dak is developed and used on Linux but will probably work under any
+UNIX since it's almost entirely python and shell scripts.
