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 !!

installer(1M) System Administration Commands installer(1M)NAME
installer - Solaris Web Start installer utility
SYNOPSIS
installer [-locales list] [-nodisplay] [-noconsole] [-debug]
DESCRIPTION
The installer utility invokes a Web Start install wizard sequence which will lead the user through a sequence of installation panels. This
installer utility is found on many CDs that are shipped with Solaris and it will be found among the top level files of these CDs.
When the installer is on a CD being accessed from a desktop file manager, the installer can be double clicked to start the installation
sequence. If the user is not currently the system's root user, the root user password will be requested.
The installer utility can also be run from other UNIX scripts. Usually, a script is used in conjunction with the utility's -nodis-
play option. Add the -noconsole option for non-interactive scripts.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-locales list Selects product translations for install, corresponding to the specified list of locales if the specified locale transla-
tions are present on the installation media. Locales are supplied in a comma-separated list following the -locales option.
An example list would appear as follows:
installer -locales fr,de,it
This would install products with translations for the French, German, and Italian locales.
-nodisplay Runs the install without a graphical user interface. Use the default product install unless it was modified by the -locales
options.
-noconsole Run the install without any interactive text console device. Useful when paired with -nodisplay for non-interactive UNIX
script use.
-debug Outputs extra information about what the install is doing. Mainly for install diagnostic purposes.
FILES
/var/sadm/install/logs location of installation log files
