PACKINIT(1)

NAME
packinit - initialize or update your .package file

SYNOPSIS
packinit

DESCRIPTION
Packinit will create (or update) a .package file, so that all the dist tools can be smart and know some basic things about your package, such as its revision number, or the e-mail address of its maintainer.

Packinit should be run from the top level directory of your package, before using any other dist tool. Later on, you may rerun it to update some of its values. Packinit will create a single file and leave the remaining of your directory undisturbed.

FILE

.package
    File holding all the package-related values
