Software packaging tool.
EPM is a simple cross-platform tool that generates software and patch
distributions in various formats from a list of files. Supported formats
include:
EPM also includes graphical “setup” and “uninstall” programs that can be
provided with your distributions to make installation and removal of more than
one package a snap. The installers can be customized with product logos,
“readme” files, and click-wrap licenses as desired.
EPM is provided as free software under version 2 of the GNU General Public
license.
Note: Future versions of this software will be maintained and developed by
Jim Jagielski.
