Nixstaller

[pjpdev]

I've recently came across Nixstaller (http://nixstaller.berlios.de/), which is a simple setup creation toolkit for Linux systems. This takes away the burden of generating packages for different Linux distros (RPM, DEB?)

What it does is put all in a *.sh file and then the user just executes it. I'm definitely going to use this for my projects to make the installation process easier. ;D ;D ;D

It can be used to distribute closed software. All you do is place your files in the directory structure, run the script to build the installer and viola...

I think there should be a section for useful tools on this site. A great big list of developer... t0yz!

Oh, and a little update. This is available for a few UNIX based systems (freeBSD, OpenSolaris, etc)... my bad, hehe :-[
