Roast Beef Description

Free and open source bleeding-edge package management system Roast Beef is a bleeding-edge package management system. Instead of keeping its own repositories, Roast Beef will just provide metadata about packages and fetches source directly from the upstream repositories.Roast Beef saves you from having to look up the repository locations for all the stuff you want to build from source. It also abstracts away the differences in build processes. say you want the latest version of such a package as gnu emacs. So you grab the source but you know Emacs is a little different from other packages and requires "make bootstrap" in between the configure and make step. With Roast Beef all the complexity of such things will automatically be hidden from you.And if you have a lot of stuff built from source you can keep them all up to date with a single command.
