# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line # up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|' # on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must # make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':'. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| jam: jam (software build tool) jam: jam: Jam is a software build tool - like make(1) - that makes building jam: simple things simple and building complicated things manageable. jam: It is widely used to build commercial and academic software. jam: Jam is a very good solution for conventional C/C++ compile-and-link jam: builds.
