What can it do?
With ADE you can:
- rapidly develop shell and Perl programs
- release them without 'configure' and 'install' scripts
- use its components together or independently
What does it consist of?
ADE consists of:
- template modules, which include:
- programs (which work and pass standard regression tests)
- man pages
- README.1ST, INSTALL, COPYING, etc.
- a test suite (all tests initially pass)
- tools for speeding up development and release:
- a tool to retrieve and tailor a template program
- a tool to run regression test and a collection of standard tests)
- a tool to stamp and bundle source files into a release
- libraries for shell and Perl for:
- displaying messages in a consistent format
- lock file management
- temporary file management
- error stack management
- tools which you can rely on being on the target system:
- an installer, with a syntax similar to that of GNU install
What has it been tested on?
ADE has been tested on:
but it should work on all Unix-like operating systems.
