Released version 0.3.5 of sn today.
stow
I've been maintaining the software I compile myself in their own directories under /usr/local for a few years, but the symlinking to bin, man, lib etcetera got quite tedious. Someone suggested using GNU Stow, and I really like it. You just put the software in /usr/local/stow/foobar and run stow foobar. It's the little things that count, as they say, and the minutes saved by using stow and not having to code my own script are going to add up...
