Summary : Manage the installation of software packages from source
|
Description :
GNU Stow is a symlink farm manager which takes distinct packages of software and/or data located in separate directories on the filesystem, and makes them appear to be installed in the same place. For example, /usr/local/bin could contain symlinks to files within /usr/local/stow/emacs/bin, /usr/local/stow/perl/bin etc., and likewise recursively for any other subdirectories such as .../share, .../man, and so on.
This is particularly useful for keeping track of system-wide and per-user installations of software built from source, but can also facilitate a more controlled approach to management of configuration files in the user\'s home directory, especially when coupled with version control systems.
Stow is implemented as a combination of a Perl script providing a CLI interface, and a backend Perl module which does most of the work.
