Overview

• can be extended via .sysc, don't require python

• can run targets in parallel

• can model dependencies

• can execute shell, including multiple things.

• everything executes in the user environment, no line-wise shell isolation like make

• can be tested via docker

• can dry run

• can show reports at the end

• can re-run things that need it

• can do configuration, not just installation (i.e. chsh)

• can generate a sequential sh script that effectively does what it was going to do

• can print dependency graph

• can show a nice, modern tui

• whitespace doesn't matter it makes the grammar nicer but it actually makes it a lot worse for the user unless I go full lisp. If I'm not going to ignore all of it then I might as well use it wherever it makes writing better.

TODO

• Fill out README

• Reorient the cli text to say "setting up" in place of "installing"

• Don't attempt to install targets if their dependencies can't be installed

• Update the exection to show the current line from stdout on the row details. Going to be a little big to refactor

• Get docker build running in CI. Need to specify ssh private keys

• Update pypi metadata

• Write out all stderr/stdout to a log file so you can get the errors after

• Add support for importing recipes

• Make a treesitter integration

• DONE Make a syntax integration

• DONE packae it up as an executable cli in pip

• DONE make my real install.sysc
