Bob v0.1.0 ready for beta testing
Hi!
As some of you know I've been working on a new build tool that is
designed to provide an alternative to pkg_chk/pkgrr/pbulk for most
situations.
It's now at the stage where it works reasonably well across NetBSD,
Linux, and SunOS, and I'd like to get some user feedback on what
features you'd like, what doesn't work, what needs better docs, etc.
Here's a screencast showing a build:
https://asciinema.org/a/763171
and if you press 'v' during the build phase it toggles a full-screen UI
with panes showing live build progress for each sandbox:
https://asciinema.org/a/763316
The README details how to get installed and started, along with a
comparison with the existing build tools:
https://github.com/jperkin/bob
Ultimately this is a tool that runs as root and involves mounts,
sandboxes, killing processes, and running "rm -rf". While I am making
every effort to make bob as safe as possible, please be careful when
making changes to your config.lua.
(If you installed an earlier v0.0.x version you'll need to re-init as I
made some minor config changes).
Cheers,
