Package: wnpp Owner: Zygmunt Krynicki <m...@zygoon.pl> Severity: wishlist * Package name : zmk Version : 0.1 Upstream Author : Zygmunt Krynicki <m...@zygoon.pl> * URL : https://github.com/zyga/zmk/ * License : LGPL-3 Programming Lang: Make, Shell Description : collection of reusable Makefiles Collection of makefiles implementing a system similar to autotools, but without the generated files that make understanding system behaviour harder. . Highlights include: . - Describe programs, test programs, static libraries, shared libraries, development headers, manual pages and more - Use familiar targets like "all", "check", "install" and "clean" - Works out of the box on popular distributions of Linux and MacOS - Friendly to distribution packaging expecting autotools - Compile natively with gcc, clang, tcc or the open-watcom compilers - Cross compile with gcc and open-watcom - Efficient and incremental, including the install target This package is probably only useful to me and several of my colleagues that follow my work. I'm working on documenting it extensively, so that others can benefit from it as well. A version of this package is bundled as a build system of the library libzt. Similar to how autoconf, automake and libtool are often used to assist in compiling C programs. With the release of libzt 0.3-1 this build system handles nearly all of the Debian requirements for configuration, cross-compiling, reproducible builds, building with clang instead of gcc. As it matures it could be considered as a viable alternative to the classic build toolchain. I plan to maintain it myself but I welcome experience and advice from all Debian Developers and Debian Maintainers. I need a sponsor for the package.
