Description: utility to manage environment variables from within dotfiles
Usepackage is a tool for managing the Unix environment for a multi-tool,
multi-platform site. It is designed to simplify login scripts and allow
administrators to control users' environments centrally. This tool should be
considered primarily designed for sites where users have to deal with a number
of different tools, or versions of tools, that are installed in different
locations and require environment variables to be set. This is particularly a
problem for developers, or anyone who has to manage a large toolset across
multiple platforms (e.g. different versions of the Sun JDK which require
various environment variables to be set correctly). One or more central
configuration files control a number of different "packages" and their
associated environment and dependencies for different platforms (this includes
the standard PATH, MANPATH, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables). A single user
command, use, can be invoked to source the appropriate environment information
into the users' current shell.
