Description

Researchers spend considerable amount of time connecting various existing software together and then dealing with ever changing versions, interfaces, API and environment.

CK can serve as a proxy to existing or new software while automatically setting up environment for different versions, checking dependencies, providing a unified interface to call them, and exchange information.

Main modules are:

• env - setting up environment for existing software
• soft - registering various software and their versions in CK and automatically resolving dependencies.
• package - unifying pakcage installation while automatically resolving dependencies.
• os - describing OS parameters
• platform* - detecting and unifying platform properties (features)

Note, that we already shared in this repo various software descriptions and packages from our past research (including compilers and libraries).

Other software descriptions and packages can be easily exchanged as CK repositories via GITHUB ...

This concept is described here: https://hal.inria.fr/hal-01054763

Usage scenarios will be available here
