This is the small homepage of stowES, the stow enhancement script.
stowES (stow Enhancement Script) is a Perl script which tries to
ease the use of the "stow" packaging program and software which
can be compiled and installed with autoconf. It automates the
compilation and installation of software packages by calling tar,
configure, make, and stow with the appropriate arguments.
Furthermore it helps maintaining your installed software by
creating library dependencies and checksums, and providing
various search functions. It is also possible to create
tar-archives out of your installed packages.
You can also list and check your packages and your installation
directory. See the README-file at the botton for
a full explanation of all the commands and options available.
