- Subject: [ITP] stow
I would like to package and maintain stow for Cygwin. Stow is an
installation manager for local software packages. It installs packages by
creating sets of symlinks from the installed location (e.g. /usr/local) to
a stow directory (e.g. /usr/local/stow/emacs) where the real files live.
This allows you to keep packages separate, while making them appear to be
installed in the same place.
Stow is available in the current stable, testing, and unstable releases of
Debian, e.g. http://packages.debian.org/stable/admin/stow.
