Open Source Unix Shell Installers for BSD

mk-configure is a lightweight and easy for use build system, written in bmake (portable version of NetBSD make) and POSIX tools (shell, awk etc.).

m23 is a free software distribution system (license: GPL), that installs (via network, starting with partitioning and formatting) and administrates (updates, adds / removes software, adds / removes scripts) clients with Debian, (X/K)Ubuntu and LinuxMint. It is used for deployment of Linux clients in schools, institutions and enterprises. The m23 server is controlled via a web interface. A new m23 client can be installed easily in only three steps. Group functions and mass installation tools make managing a vast number of clients comfortable. The integration of existing clients (with .deb-based distributions) into the system is possible, too. Client backup and server backup are included to avoid data loss. With the integrated virtualisation software, m23 can create and manage virtual m23 clients, that run on real m23 clients or the m23 server. Scripts and software packages (for installation on clients) can be created directly from the m23 web interface.

This is an add-on to stow. If the "make install" didn't work with DESTDIR argument(or use another installer), stow-jail would close the installer command to the sandbox(unionfs+chroot),in this way all go to the "/stow/package_name" directory.

BTS is a Build Template System designed for building packages for th common packing systems in use by current distributions based on a single XML package description. We are finally restarting development after a long break due to NeOS work.

Confix is a build tool for source code packages, on top of GNU Automake. It inspects the package's source code, tracks inter package dependencies, propagates checks across package boundaries, and finally writes Automake input files for the maintainer.

EasyCompilator is written in C#. And provide user friedly GUI installing process for Linux based operating systems.

The goal of the Embedded Debian Project is to make Debian GNU/Linux a natural choice for embedded Linux.

barcat is just like "cat", but displays an ASCII progress bar. Its goal is to work on any Unix-like platform and to be directly usable in installation scripts without needing compilation, so it is a pure shell script.

CMage provides the ability to create an image of a filesystem on an IDE/SATA device and apply the image to a second hard drive of either IDE or SATA with a smaller, equal, or larger device size. CMage is run from a linux based liveCD on the terminal.
