GNUstep Installation Process

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

1. Introduce CPAM(Cross-Platform Application Management) tool implemented by TWW Inc. to GNUstep CPAD community.

2. 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. 

3. Write tutorial on learning TWW CPAM.

4. Integrate GNUstep developement process with TWW CPAM.

More details TBA once I get familiar with mediawiki.

  I have used their CPAM to bring  open-source  software under control. 
  The TWW tools and sources of their supported packages are GPL open-source
