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 developers.
