Spkgtool is a software management system that uses symbolic links for maintaining packages and a "ports" style backend for building package from source tarballs. Spkgtool now has it's own built linking application, but it also can act as a GUI front-end to your favorite symbolic link package system (Currently spkgtool supports graft, epkg,and stow). It is written with bash scripts and Makefiles. The GUI is dialog and Xdialog(depending on your enviroment). Aside from building ports, It will also build and install "gnu friendly" source tar balls.
