SouRCe PacKaGer (srcpkg) is a program for managing separate software
packages under the same directory hierarchy. It is especially useful
for packages distributed as source code. srcpkg is similar to GNU
Stow, Depot, etc., but is designed to be able to handle large,
complex, interdependent packages such as those of KDE and GNOME.

srcpkg works by creating packages from new files found in the target
directory tree. This allows packages to be installed as they were
intended, into a specific prefix (eg. /usr/local), and srcpkg takes
care of moving the new files to a separate package directory and
creating symlinks into the target tree.

srcpkg is a Perl script, so it requires Perl 5.6 or above.  srcpkg may
be ported to C in a future version; if this would be beneficial to
you, please contact the author.

srcpkg has successfully been used to manage a large number of software
packages, notably Gnome and KDE.

srcpkg is free software, licensed under the GNU General Public License,
which can be found in the file `COPYING'.

See `INSTALL' for installation instructions.

The latest version of srcpkg is always available from the authors
project page at http://www.tempestgames.com/ryan.
