<title>Summary</title>
<para>
This paper has introduced &SCons;, a next-generation build tool
with a modular, embeddable architecture and a direct Python
interface. &SCons; has a global view of the dependencies in a source
tree, uses MD5 signatures to decide if derived files are out of date,
and automatically scans files for dependencies, all of which make &SCons;
builds exceptionally reliable. The &SCons; development methodology has
been described, notable for its emphasis on automated regression
testing to ensure a robust and reliable tool from day one. Several
future directions for &SCons; have also been discussed.
