Description: Tools for developing, maintaining and distributing software
The dist package is a set of tools meant to ease the construction
and maintenance of portable software.
.
The first component is the Configure script generator, metaconfig, which
automatically builds the Configure script from your sources. Ideally,
the end-user receiving your source code will simply have to read
your README file, run the Configure script (which is self-documented),
and then run make.
.
The second component is the Makefile.SH generator, which is a generic
configured Makefile, reusing some of the information figured out
by Configure, and a generic Jmakefile description.
.
The third component is the RCS aware package generator, which is
used when it's time to build up the shell archives used to distribute
your program.
.
The fourth and latest component is the patch generator, used to
make updates of your sources, which can later be applied on the
original distribution by using the patch program.
