* Why I want to use TWW HPMS ?
Given GNUstep's cross-platform declaration on application development activities, so should the application mangement activies cross-platform united.

* How do I compile GNUStep System using TWW HPMS ?
 
 
GNUstep installation process should be and could be as simple as "pkg-inst GNUstep-1.0" across GNUstep supported OS plaforms. But in oder to get there, following need to be done.
 
 
 
GNUstep package creation automation project.
 
 
 
* What?: This is a project to automate the process of creating GNUstep environment for a perticular OS platform.
 
 
 
* Why?:
 
** Lots of time is spent by experienced GNUsteppers to assist new GNUsteppers with compiling the source, and this waste will continue to occur unless we resolve certain issues.
 
** Time can be better spent on GNUstep developement, and not on the compling and packaging process.
 
** Easy installation and removal of GNUstep encourges the deployment of GNUstep in corporate environments.
 
** The softare adn pacakge creation processes can be reproduced easliy by others with simple commands.
 
** Improves QA testing by generating GNUstep bug fixed instances quickly.
 
 
 
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 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 paragrah can be deleted later.
 
  In this paragrah, I just want to make sure above out of nowhere 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 interested
 
  to bring the CPAM experience to work on this project. I promised myslef to digitalize the
 
  compiling process when "Adam Fedor" was kindly answer my emails regarding to the compiling issues
 
  I econcuntered.
 
   
 
  Please email me if you have comment/questions.
 
  For detail about TWW, please see http://www.thewrittenword.com.
 
  I have used CPAM tool at work to bring cross-platform open-source software support
 
  nightmare under control. TWW CPAM tool is battle field tested ;)
 
 
 
  All the TWW tools and sources of their supported packages are GPL open-source compliant.
 
  They are freely avaiable(ftp://support.thewrittenword.com) but support labor and binary packages are not.
