[wpkg-users] newbie Question

[Michael Mosel]

Hello everyone,

my name is Michael Mosel and I just started my position as IT guy at the International Graduate Centre for the Study of Culture (GCSC) at Justus-Liebig-University of Gießen. One my successors had started using WPKG but unfortunately has not documented anything. Since I have never used WPKG myself, I am kind of lost right now.
Although I googled quite a lot and read large parts of the documentation, I have a very basic question to start with:
What exactly is the "wpkg-status" folder for? 
It is filled with tons of xml files holding information about our PCs and also install queries which do NOT match the ones I have defined in the package files which kind of puzzles me. 
Can anyone shed some light on this (I guess pretty basic) question?

Yours,
Michael Mosel
