The Ape Base Compile System is a set of scripts
that leverage ESP EPM and MREPO to maintain Red
Hat based systems that require custom and secluded
binaries. It achieves cross platform reproducible
compiles applications like Apache HTTPD, MySQL,
and PHP, supports a common --prefix parent
directory to allow different versions of an
application to be installed, provides an easy
method to switch between application versions,
places selected application binaries in a central
"bin" directory, supports delivery via Yum and
other common installers, and provides a method for
non-compiled "skeleton" files to be included with
installation and distribution.
