stowES - stow enhancement script


Download - Copyright - Status

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.


Status

Current released version:0.5.7

stowES is currently and has been used by me under Debian GNU/Linux, Solaris and AIX. It's also in the FreeBSD's Port Collection (Description, FTP). If you have any problems with it, let me know.
