NAME
Autodist - Source distribution management system
SYNOPSIS
autodist [options] [distribution] [version] [params]
DESCRIPTION
The Autodist is a source distribution management system that allows
powerful mechanisms to define what is included in and excluded from a
distribution, and what license the distribution is released under. It
is also used to create the actual distribution source packages.
Autodist allows distribution management in file, directory and file
content level. Different distributions may include different portions
of files, for example, excluding certain features from certain distri‐
butions. It is always guaranteed that anything not defined for the
distribution, is removed automatically (files, file content, directo‐
ries), thus ensuring that nothing is accidentally included in the dis‐
tribution.
Autodist is closely related to the Autoconf and Automake tools, and
complements the features Autoconf and Automake provides. It is espe‐
cially targeted into circumstances where multiple distributions are
created from one source tree. The Autoconf and Automake environment is
mainly designed for one application per one source tree situations.
Autodist provides mechanisms to create all kinds of distributions that
can be created from one source tree. To be able to use Autodist, the
Autoconf and Automake must be installed into the system.
