Customize


What is it?

Customize is a program for managing Unix systems. It can do things like patching, installing packages, mirror disks, editing inetd.conf and alot of other things. Today it mainly supports Solaris, Linux (Redhat) and FreeBSD but some Irix support also exists and hopefully it will also support other Unixes in the future. Customize is written entirely in Perl.

History

Customize was created for internal use at Ericsson Erisoft and later released to the public under the same licence as Perl itself. That is Artistic Licence or GNU Public License

Author

The largest part of Customize is written by Joacim Häggmark who is also the current maintainer but alot of other people have also helped both with design and coding.
