Description: Graft
Graft provides a mechanism for managing multiple packages under a single
directory hierarchy. Packages are installed in self contained directory
trees and symbolic links from a common area are made to the package files.
.
This approach allows multiple versions of the same package to co-exist on
the one system. One version is the commonly available version and symbolic
links will be made to this version. New versions can be tested and once
acceptable can replace the current commonly available version. Older
versions can still be used for legacy systems by using the 'real' path
name to the package instead of the 'common' path name.
