.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBBuildManager\fP, or \fBbm\fP, is an alternative for rpmbuild that wraps and extends RPM while building packages. Its features allow one to batch process thousand of RPMs at once, controlling logs, RPM and SRPM moving, filtering the list of files, ignoring given packages, completely cleaning the build directories, and many other features.
