Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
So Neil posted some weeks ago about checkinstall [1] |
| 4 |
I've been wanting to experiment with ninja[2] too. So has |
| 5 |
anyone combined both tools? |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
While I'm at it I'd like to be able to construct a complete |
| 8 |
DAG [3] from theses installed files and the related dependencies; very |
| 9 |
flexible on this part, trying to learn more about the uses |
| 10 |
and visualizations of a DAG [4]. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Eventually, I want a custom build system, for rapidly prototyping code |
| 14 |
from a variety of tarballs that are not part of a regular build package |
| 15 |
system; that yields control, file tracking and visual tools of the tree, |
| 16 |
particularly advanced math [5] and science codes. Ph.D (science) folks are |
| 17 |
often very smart, but they sometimes do 'wacky' things with codes. I also |
| 18 |
need to be able to ' partially unwind' and/or removed everything installed, |
| 19 |
confidently. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I have other boxes to do this work on, but yea eventually it needs |
| 23 |
security (sandbox et al) but fist get it working; then tighten up on |
| 24 |
security. The authors are trusted as to intent, but not as robust admins. |
| 25 |
Any discussion, guidance or wiki links to something similar is most appreciated. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
I also have the intention of testing this system on minimize (gentoo) and |
| 28 |
embedded systems as a sort of system that lives completely on a usb stick, |
| 29 |
for easy removal. |
