|Full description='Depot' is a software management tool kfor maintaining third party and locally developed software in large heterogeneous computing environments. It integrates separately maintained software packages ('collections') into a common directory hierarchy (the 'software environment') consisting of a union of all the collections. A set of configuration options manages interactions and intersections between collections in the environment. Custom environments and complete test environments can be created for machines or sets of machines. Collections with problems can be removed or replaced with previous versions. Individual collections or files can be moved from remote to local filesystems. | |Full description='Depot' is a software management tool kfor maintaining third party and locally developed software in large heterogeneous computing environments.

CMU Depot

Software management tool
Depot was a software management tool developed at Carnegie Mellon University by Wallace Colyer and Walter Wong as part of the Andrew II Project. CMU Depot put an emphasis on sharing applications across the network. It were developed for an AFS environment, but worked with NFS as well. Applications were organized into collections of related software, each living in its own directory tree. Users were provided with a central directory containing symbolic links to the application binaries. It's probably this point which inspired Bob Glickstein to create Stow.
