|  | 33 | CMT is a <i>configuration management</i> environment, based on some | 
|---|
|  | 34 | management conventions and comprises several shell-based utilities. It | 
|---|
|  | 35 | is an attempt to formalize software production and especially | 
|---|
|  | 36 | configuration management around a <i>package</i>-oriented principle. | 
|---|
|  | 37 |  | 
|---|
|  | 38 | <p>The notion of <i>packages</i> represents hereafter a set of | 
|---|
|  | 39 | software components (that may be applications, libraries, tools | 
|---|
|  | 40 | etc...) that are to be used for producing a <i>system</i> or a | 
|---|
|  | 41 | <i>framework</i>. In such an environment, several persons are assumed | 
|---|
|  | 42 | to participate in the development and the components themselves are | 
|---|
|  | 43 | either independent or related to each other. | 
|---|
|  | 44 |  | 
|---|
|  | 45 | <p>The environment provides conventions (for <i>naming</i> packages, | 
|---|
|  | 46 | files, directories and for <i>addressing</i> them) and | 
|---|
|  | 47 | tools for <i>automating</i> as much as possible the | 
|---|
|  | 48 | implementation of these conventions. It permits to | 
|---|
|  | 49 | <i>describe</i> the configuration requirements and automatically | 
|---|
|  | 50 | deduce from the description the effective set of configuration | 
|---|
|  | 51 | parameters needed to operate the packages (typically for | 
|---|
|  | 52 | <i>building</i> them or <i>using</i> them). | 
|---|
|  | 53 |  |
