Package: wnpp Version: unavailable; reported 2003-06-24 Severity: wishlist * Package name : pmk Version : 0.4.5 Upstream Author : Damien Couderc & Xavier Santolaria * URL : http://premk.sf.net/ * License : BSD Description : The pmk project aims to be an alternative to GNU/autoconf (configure scripts).
First a quote from the about page for the project: Our primary goals are : * Avoid the use of scripts in packages that can hide trojans. * Try to keep the needed dependancies near from zero (actually we're at zero). * Make it easy to use for users and developpers. * Provide the package in a free and usable license for everybody (BSD). Their goals seem to be met so far. The whole thing is written in C, doesn't depend on perl/m4/shell etc., it's rather easy to use featuring a simple config file format, autoconf compatibility (output-wise), is supported on quite a few software platforms (including Debian). The system defaults are configured in a global config file which makes the usage pretty consistent accross all the installations. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux beowulf 2.5.73-mm1 #1 Tue Jun 24 15:31:14 CEST 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=pl_PL, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL
