releng-tool 0.9.0

release engineering utility tool

releng-tool aims to provide a method to prepare a structured environment to assist in the release engineering of a project.

Overview

When dealing with the release engineering of a project, assets may be found in multiple locations and may require various methods to extract, build and more. releng-tool can be used to process a defined set of projects/packages which identify where resources can be fetched, how packages can be extracted and methods to patch, configure, build and install each individual package for a target root.

For detailed documentation on the releng-tool project, please consult the releng-tool documentation.
