# debian/control Source: caspar Section: devel Priority: optional Maintainer: Joost van Baal-Ilić Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 13), zoem, aephea, tidy, w3m Rules-Requires-Root: binary-targets Standards-Version: 3.9.8 Homepage: http://mdcc.cx/caspar/ Vcs-Git: http://git.mdcc.cx/caspar.git/ Package: caspar Architecture: all Depends: make, ${misc:Depends} Suggests: jade, texlive-formats-extra, texlive-latex-base, texlive-binaries, w3m, ghostscript, psutils, lpr, man-db, docbook-dsssl, perl, cmark, caspar-doc Description: Makefile snippets for centralized configuration management and typesetting Caspar offers Makefile snippets for tasks like installing files you maintain using a version control system, or typesetting documents in some markup language. . If you need to maintain and distribute lots of files (system configuration files for Unix hosts using a version control system, e.g.), caspar is likely useful for you. It is comparable with other tools for Unix system administrators like puppet and cfengine. Main difference: the caspar code consists of less than 100 lines of GNU Make, so if puppet and cfengine are overkill for your needs, you'll probably like the small and simple caspar tool. . If you write documents in a markup language like LaTeX, DocBook XML, DocBook SGML, POD or Markdown, and want to automate the typesetting, you'll like caspar. Install all suggested packages if you'd like to use this typesetting functionality (or pick the suitable ones from the list of suggested packages). . It's not strictly necessary to know how to write Makefiles when using caspar. Package: caspar-doc Architecture: all Section: doc Suggests: caspar Depends: ${misc:Depends} Multi-Arch: foreign Description: documentation for caspar Caspar offers Makefile snippets for common tasks, like installing (system configuration) files or typesetting documentation. . This package contains the caspar manpages in HTML and PostScript format as well as some other documentation.
