DESCRIPTION
-----------

Sometimes the Off-The-Shelf (OTS) software you need has a complicated
build workflow.  If you want to manage that in scripted
(patch)-config-build-test-install environment, that usually means
building a script to perform all of the work.  If you are working with
dozens of OTS package, that can be a lot of redundant work.

ots-build is a bash library which provides support for lots of common
tasks in building OTS software.  It provides a framework for command
line arguments and for running partial or complete builds.  It
provides a means of patching the package prior to configuration.  It
provides a rudimentary logging mechanism to keep things tidy.


INSTALLATION
------------

See the INSTALL file.
