GNUstep package creation automation project/process.

  • What: This is a project to digitilize the process of creating GNUstep environment for a perticular OS platform to install/remove GNUstep easily thus encourge the deployment of GNUstep in corporate environment. And the pacakge creation process can be reproduced easliy by others with commands.
  • Why: There are lots of time spent from experienced GNUsteppers to new GNUsteppers. Time should be spent on the GNUstep developement not on compling and packaging process.

Plan

  • Introduce CPAM(Cross-Platform Application Management) tool implemented by TWW Inc. to GNUstep CPAD community
    • Cross-Platform is easier said then done becuase each platform's features are barriers for others.
  • Release GNUstep package source implemented by TWW CPAM.
    • I will release a working package source for others to try and review.
    • The package soruces can generate native package format for RHAS rpm,Solaris pkgadd and HP-UX depot formats.
  • Write tutorial on learning TWW CPAM.
    • I am willing to help/assist a few persons to get familliar with TWW tools if they promise me to write up what they learned in a tutorial article. As you can see I am really not good on documenation work.
  • Integrate GNUstep developement process with TWW CPAM.


  • More details TBA once I get familiar with mediawiki.
  • Following lines can be deleted later.

 I have used their CPAM at work to bring cross-platform open-source software support 
 nightmare under control. 
 All the TWW tools and sources of their supported packages are GPL open-source 
 free of charge but not their support labor.
