autospec suite
==============

## Overview

Autospec is a fully configurable suite of bash scripts for automatically generating specfiles from source tarballs and
downloading, upgrading, compiling, testing, and uploading the rpm (RedHat Package Manager) packages provided by an
rpm-based Linux distribution.

Autospec was created for the QiLinux distribution and is now used by the [openmamba](http://www.openmamba.org) developers.
