The ITP bug for this package says: * Package name : makepp Version : 1.18 Upstream Author : Gary Holt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://makepp.sourceforge.net/ * License : Dual GPL/Artistic Description : yet another make replacement
makepp is the rare case where a compromise worked well. Namely, a compromise between the power of cons (already in Debian) and the need to keep close to traditional makefile syntax. makepp has most of cons' power while it is so compatible with existing makefiles that it can use many of them without modification, perhaps in degraded mode. Like cons, makepp is written in Perl and depends on it. http://bugs.debian.org/182820 My package is ready to be uploaded, at http://www.speakeasy.net/~itz/hacks/makepp_1.18-1.dsc -- "This is the patent age of new inventions For killing bodies, and for saving souls, All propagated with the best intentions."
