Baker Description

Baker - Advanced source-based package management system Baker is an advanced source-based package management system (although it can handle binary packages too). It is 100% well structed OO Ruby code, which can easily be extended and called upon as a library. Its commandline interface called 'bake' makes it easy to download, compile and install programs. A catalog of "recipes" (also called the "recipe book") can be sync'd with a master (or mirrored master) and contains yaml files that describe where to get a program (handles mirrors and local regions), how to compile it and how to install it. Thus it is easily suited to any distribution, even those with non-standard FHS. Baker is quite flexible, having extensible types of build recipes, already including a basic shell recipe class. Shell recipes will simply run yaml embedded shell scripts for Baker will allow distribution developers to maintain large collections of binary packages very easily.
