Just recently i tried to apply the GNU Autotools to my project, while it was possible, it took forever to know where to create which files and what to place in each of them.
Dare you making a space rather than a tab!
Inspired by GNU Autotools, and overhelmed by its functionality and complexety, i wanted something simpler, smaller, quicker for my smaller projects - that do no require compiling.
While i do respect and honor their work, for a 'simple script project' the Autotools are somewhat overpowered and hard to handle.
While i consider myselft a fast adapter/learner, and thinking about how much trouble i had, i could imagine others having more trouble with the GNU Autotools.
So, YASSI was born.
It creates 3 make-* files, and a 'reference' file - doRef=true will install it to /etc/$APP.conf
make-distclean, would remove the just created files, cleaning up your project dir
Since this tool/google+ post has had more shares and likes in less time than any of my other posts (on G+) i thought i'd share it here for those without G+.

I have a software bundle for which I want to create an installer. One of the things I am also looking at, is to be able to install this straight from a CD or any external storage device. How do I go about creating one? This is for Linux.
Any advice is welcome !!

tinymux-install
TINYMUX-INSTALL(1) General Commands Manual TINYMUX-INSTALL(1)NAME
tinymux-install - installer for the tinymux flavor mush server
SYNOPSIS
tinymux-install [OPTION]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the tinymux-install command. It was written for the Debian distribution because the original program
does not have a manual page.
tinymux-install is a program that installs the tinymux server in the user directory from which it is ran. It provides all necessary data
and configuration files for each user account it is setup for, as well as the restart script needed to initiate an instance of the tinymux
server process.
tinymux-install itself should only be run once per user to install the necessary files and links. All updating of the tinymux server should
be done on a global level by the system administrator.
OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is
included below.
-h, --help
display this help and exit
-v, --version
output version information and exit
AUTHOR
This manual page was written by Ervin Hearn III <noltar@korongil.net>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others).
