A package was submitted to savannah.gnu.org
This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden


incoming <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: Sources INSTALLer
System name: sinstall
Type: GNU

Description:
My project is a source packages installer. It is written in perl5 and allows to 
install almost any source package without knowing anything about it.
The major goal of this is to make installing sources easier and faster.
The important features are reading and saving uninstall logs (quite similar to 
freebsd port\'s logs), which are currently read from installwatch\'s log or (if 
installwatch is not used) installed throught DESTDIR option, read and moved to 
prefix location or if neither is possible (for Makefiles written by hand), 
parse the files from make install\'s output. It allows to download packages 
from the internet, read the from a list or from the command-line.
Tar and {g,b}zip archives are automatically extracted on the begin, then there 
are made some checks (it looks for cvs scripts, configures, makefiles) and 
chooses how to install the package. It also makes (very basic yet) errors 
checking for configure and make parts.
Later I plan to add dependencies checking (which may be downloaded and 
installed automatically).
Also there is still most of documentation missing, it will be added as soon as 
I finish it.

You can download a pre-release on www.sweb.cz/incoming429/si.tar.gz
but this version is under developenment, unstable and doesn\'t include all the 
features. But it\'s mostly functional.


Other Software Required:
perl 5.6 or higher
