the instool tar.gz package here |
| instool
is a small installation program that will install tar.gz packages and
create uninstall information for later use. It can also read makefiles
and create uninstall files for a make install operation. Packages
installed with instool can be uninstalled at any time. Uninstall
packages can also be listed at any time to track what is available.
instool works for normal users or for administrators in root mode (uid
0). It keeps it's uninstall files in a directory in the users home
path, or a system directory, depending on the mode it is run under. instool also now works with source packages by reading the make file and determining the files install when you do a make install. It does not do the install for you, but it can create uninstall file from a makefile. When you unpack instool, be sure to read the README file for a quick explaination of the options, or type man instool.
