Bug#198665: ITP: pmk -- The pmk project aims to be an alternative to GNU/autoconf (configure scripts).



Package: wnpp
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-06-24
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : pmk
  Version         : 0.4.5
  Upstream Author : Damien Couderc & Xavier Santolaria
* URL             : http://premk.sf.net/
* License         : BSD
  Description     : The pmk project aims to be an alternative to GNU/autoconf (configure scripts).

First a quote from the about page for the project:

Our primary goals are :

    * Avoid the use of scripts in packages that can hide trojans.
    * Try to keep the needed dependancies near from zero (actually we're at
      zero).
    * Make it easy to use for users and developpers.
    * Provide the package in a free and usable license for everybody (BSD). 

Their goals seem to be met so far. The whole thing is written in C, doesn't
depend on perl/m4/shell etc., it's rather easy to use featuring a simple
config file format, autoconf compatibility (output-wise), is supported on
quite a few software platforms (including Debian). The system defaults are 
configured in a global config file which makes the usage pretty consistent 
accross all the installations.
