Project-Builder.org is a GPL v2 tool designed to help projects developers producing easily packages for multiple OS and architectures, on a regular basis, from +a single source repository. The various aspects covered by the tool are: - only produce software packages (ease integration in deployment servers, provide inheritance mecanisms, ...) - ease the various steps of solution life cycle (controlled impact of installation/uninstallation, dependencies management, identical deliveries up to customer, +announce management, web site delivery, metadata management) - help projects packages provisioning (templates/skeletons, generated structure) - Avoid code/metadata duplication (macro system, separate repository) - Neutral (repository, system, package type agnostic)
Reduces cost by providing process, method and tools to realize continuous packaging during the whole project life cycle. Today the tool supports: - Muliple repository (tarballs, SVN, CVS, Git, Mercurial, SVK...) - Multiple systems ((RPM Linux, deb Linux, ebuild , Solaris pkg) - Multiple build environments (local, VM, VE) - Multiple repository manager (yum, urpmi, apt) Used by MondoRescue, LinuxCOE, itself, referenced by vcs-pkg.org
