+Buildsys-macros is a software package designed for Linux and Unix systems that provides a set of macros to automate the process of managing software builds. It provides a set of scripts and Makefiles to automate the building, testing, and deploying of software packages. It offers multiple target platforms and languages and provides a platform-agnostic and language-agnostic way of quickly building and deploying software packages.
