Upix is a source software management and packaging system with concepts borrowed from Rox (0install), Stow, Slackware's slackbuilds and Gobolinux.
Programs can be built and installed to any location and later symlinked in place for compliance with the FHS and LSB if neccessary.

An application consists of a single directory - "AppDir" with installed files (As in Gobolinux and Rox).
The AppDir also contains build scripts and optionally source for the installed program. ... read more
