The idea is to produce something like Slakware tgz, for only binary=20
distributions, plataform indipendent and very easy to use for both
user and develper.


As developer you make a tbz2 like this:
  tar cjf mypackage-x.y.z.tbz2 -C / ./file1 ./file2

Then you make a script like this:
  require "dea"
 =20
  installation =3D Installation.new()
  installation.start()

And at last:
  tar2dea mypackage-x.y.z.tbz2 >> mypackage-x.y.z-setup.rb


As user you just click the script.


Using yml files you can overload the setup script settings:
cat ~/yml/mypackage-x.y.z-setup.yml
=2D--
root-dir: /slk
tmp-dir: /var/tmp

Much more than this but..

As said this is just a simple lib for binary distributions, i need it
because i would propose Linux based software to novice users*
