Free vcs software for mac

Releaser is a set of scripts to help manage and automate software package releases. Every software package should have a .pkg file containing necessary information about the project and modules to be used.

The prerel script runs the selected pre/ modules and uses the .pkg information and the input from the user to generate a release specific .rel file. Typical tasks in pre modules include generation of changelogs, building of tarballs from vcs repositories, etc.

postrel uses the .rel and other output of the pre scripts to actually execute the release by running the post modules, this usually includes uploading tarballs, sending announcements to m ailing lists, uploading news page in website, freshmeat submission, etc.

Note: Parabuild is free for non-commercial use.
