What is Flagpoll?
-----------------------------------------------
Flagpoll is a tool for developers to use meta-data files for storing
information on what is needed to compile their software. Think of it as
the rpm of software development. It enables developers total control
over which packages, versions, architectures, etc. that they want to use
meta-data from. Flagpoll is a multi-platform tool written in Python. It
is free software and licensed under the GPL version 2.
