 GNU Make is a program that determines which pieces of a large program need to be recompiled and issues the
 commands to recompile them, when necessary. More information about GNU Make can be found in the `make' Info
 page. The upstream sources for this package are available at the location ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/. The
 documentation for this package does not meet the Debian Free Software Guidelines, and has been removed from
