# Inqlude - the Qt library archive

Inqlude is a tool to handle Qt based libraries. It provides developers using Qt
with an easy way to find, install, and use liraries, in particular 3rd party
libraries.

Inqlude comes as a Ruby gem, which can easily be installed, and provides a
command line interface to handle Qt libraries in a similar way as Ruby gems.
There are commands to list available libraries and installed libraries, and
more. 

Libraries are described by manifest files, which are maintained in a separate
git repository. Inqlude integrates with this git repository and uses it as the
list of available gems. One way to contribute information about libraries to the
archive is to simply provide patches to the manifest repository. The repository
can be found at https://github.com/cornelius/inqlude-data.

Inqlude also integrates with native package managers. If the meta information is
available, the libraries are transparently handled by installing packages with
the native tools.

There also is an option to generate an HTML overview of all available libraries.
This can be hosted or used locally.
