'''Packer''' is a tool for building cross-platform [Starpack%|%Starpacks] with [Tcllib] included. It takes as input the content of a [Git] repository, e.g., on GitHub. The only assumption made about the source repository is that it includes a `lib/` directory into which Tcllib will be copied. Packer builds [Tclssg] by default (for which it was developed). It can be customized by overriding select default options; see the file `build.tcl` in the repository for an example of how it can be done.
