Package: wnpp Version: unavailable; reported 2003-04-07 Severity: wishlist * Package name : build-common Version : 0.1 Upstream Author : Colin Walters <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : * License : GPL Description : common build system for Debian packages
This package contains the Common Debian Build System, an abstract build system based on Makefile inheritance which is completely extensible and overridable. In other words, CDBS provides a sane set of default rules upon which packages can build; any or all rules may be overridden as needed. So, CBS was an experiment, and I learned a lot from it. build-common is a lot better. It even uses itself to build itself :) Once it's in the archive I'll write up something about it here. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux columbia 2.5.66-acpi20030328 #1 Fri Apr 4 20:18:21 EST 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
