- 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 just want to make above out of nohere text not treated as spam. My name is T.J. Yang(tj_yang at hotmail dot com), I have been working as a system administator and I am intrested to bring the work experience to work on this task. Please email me if you have comment/questions. For detail about TWW, please see http://www.thewrittenword.com, 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.
