autospec suite for *openmamba GNU/Linux*
========================================

## Overview

`Autospec` is a fully configurable suite of shell 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.
