pkginst is a simple package installer for unix and unix like platforms. pkginst uses simple compressed packages (such as tar) to extract package contents to there locations. pkginst does not store any file locations and so doesnt offer any uninstall features. pkginst started off as the package system for THIX OS, however, has evolved from a simple program and now has its own sourceforge location.
