rationale:
I'd like to rename App::Depst (a.k.a. "depst") to App::Dest (a.k.a.
"dest") because folks who are using "depst" hate having to pronounce
it.
There are some requested additional features that folks are asking
for in depst, so I figure I'll add them to dest.
dest (currently depst) is a simple "deployment state" change
management tool. I really like what Sqitch is doing, but I wanted
something that worked on more than just databases. And I'm not very
smart, so I wanted something really simple. (Both simple to use and
simple to maintain.) Thus, dest/depst was born.
Let's say you're working with a group of other software engineers
on a particular software project using your favorite revision
control system. Let's also say that you have a database that
undergoes schema changes as features are developed, and you have
various system activities like the installation of libraries or
other applications. Then let's also say the team braches, works on
stuff, shares those branches, reverts, merges, etc. And also from
time to time you want to go back in time a bit so you can reproduce
a bug. Maintaining the database state and the state of the system
across all that activity can be problematic. dest tries to solve
this in a very simple way, letting you be able to deploy, revert,
and verify to any point in time in the development history.
