+[[!meta title="ProteanOS Archive Manager"]]
+
+This is pro-archman, the ProteanOS Archive Manager.
+
+pro-archman manages packages in an archive laid out as explained in the
+[specification][archive-layout].
+
+The ProteanOS Archive Manager can:
+
+ * Include new packages into an archive;
+ * Scan an "incoming" directory for new packages;
+ * Remove packages from an archive suite;
+ * Copy packages from one archive suite to another;
+ * Remove an archive suite;
+ * Efficiently generate feed index files that package managers can use
+ to find packages in the archive; and
+ * Remove old package files after a delay, allowing package managers to
+ find packages listed in cached feed index files.
