Rez

Rez is a tool that oversees dependency-management, compilation, build-variations, and distribution of code. It allows for variances like:

• building packages for various languages (using make/cmake)
• resolving dependencies for internal/external packages, software versions
• Build Variants (build a version of N for maya2015,python2.7.6, and maya2018,python2.7.11)
• composing environments for building/running software
