PS. read the sources... -69- --- What'S it do? Another tool to grab your essential package(s) without having to learn / care about the distribution you use. The packages will be statically built, using (musl-libc)? --- Why? * highly portable (it will most likely work on other Unix-like systems) * software running on every Linux distribution * compile softwares with only the options you want / need * do not rely on maintainers and avoid their obscure and brainless choices * do not learn some stupid and irrelevant dialects to create packages * use some unique tools, some a bit hacky... just like old times, partner. * use the shell for everything, and awk/sed for everything else. rypp utilities do not use any configuration files. The user-defined variables must be set in the environment, using export. It can be automatically done with user profile, like ${HOME}/.profile or ${HOME}/.bash_profile. $ export SOLBASE="${HOME}/rypp" For a list of possible parameters, read the sources. --- Inspired by original Author Ypnose - http://ywstd.fr/ --- Quote If you use rypp, please drop me an email. I would love to know someone who uses it. --- Well, except you'll not find an email. --- License BSD 3-Clause License. Check LICENSE.
