Drop is an inter-project dependencies tool that binds functionality of source control systems, autoconf scripts, make and package managers.

There are a lot of tools orchestration and deployment to production but very few tools to help someone configure a machine for development. dws is just a tool.

At its core, drop helps to run multiple sequences of dev commands in topological order. ex:

git clone _repo-1_
./configure
make
make install
git clone _repo-2_
./configure
make
make install

is replaced by a single command:

dws build _myproject-and-prerequisites_.xml
