Other License: 
Package: Distributed Make System
System name: dms
Type: 2

Description:
This project is aimed at distributing compilation processes 
in a network in order to reduce the time that it takes 
to build a program and to be able to build a program on different 
architectures (not easily affordables, etc.).
 
First, we want to be able to compile C programs with gcc and to 
distribute the process on a LAN to increase the speed of the build process. 
We\'ll then add features as problems arise and development progress. 

In the future, we especially would like to focus on security and intelligent  
use of resources. We also would like to distribute 
jobs in a Wan or the Internet, in a peer-o-peer way, to be able 
to build programs for differents architectures (SPARC, x86, etc.). 

We use the Python language and the PyUnit framework for unit testing.

It does not exist yet but we are working on it.


Other Software Required:
Our project requires the use of the Python interpreter only, since 
PyUnit is integrated in it. It requires that the user has GNU make 
installed on his system.
