relman is a tool that takes your source code, runs
the build, and distributes the packages. A
configuration file allows you to define
application-wide defaults in addition to
information particular to individual projects such
as the source directory, package name, and the
like. Once set up, you just have to call relman
with the name given to the project plus the
version to release. It calls pkgmake to build
.tar.gz, .deb, and .rpm files, and then
distributes them using (s)FTP, RSync, and/or SCP all in one run.
