Description of work + goals
Packaging is defined as the process of archiving files together along with information about the package, like its current version, a description of what the package is meant to do, etc. Packages are deployed in order to solve a software issue or resolve a package dependency. New version of packages are constantly coming out with new features, patches, and fixes that improve upon the last. Packages are what make up any Linux system and as such are a very fundamental part of any open source project.
 
Packages are all grouped together in what are called "Package Repositories" developed and maintained by "Repo Masters". This is where the packages come from when you "yum install" any package off your machine. The DXR repository is located on scotland and can be accessed through the web browser - [http://scotland.proximity.on.ca/DXR/ DXR]
