Description : a top-down software build system
redo is a software build system envisioned by Daniel J. Bernstein, which is
simultaneously smaller, faster, more powerful and less complex than make.
Build scripts are shell scripts, but can be written in almost any language.

This implementation of redo is simpler and faster than the redo implementation
by Avery Pennarun. While Pennarun's version of redo is written in Python, this
version of redo depends only on the Bourne shell and standard utilities
provided by the GNU coreutils or Busybox packages.
Caveat: This version of redo is missing the redo-ifcreate command, which
creates dependencies on files not yet existing. Adding it should be simple.
As I am the upstream author, I maintain this version of redo. I expert
maintenance effort to be low, as the software is essentially finished.
I probably need a sponsor for uploading the package.
