No we don't! GNU Make is exactly what we need; that's pah-lenty declarative in the right hands.
All you have to do now is make sure your hands are the right hands.
Like buddha said: right mind.
- ashitlerferad 10y agoGNU Make allows arbitrary code execution during the build.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoWhat's the problem with that, exactly?
- Annatar 10y agoYou bet it does, and that's exactly what's needed! What's the problem with that, again?
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoYep. If you're running it for a build, you're running unprivilaged - chrooted, jailed, or zoned if you want to be really safe - and if you're running it for install, than you trust the software in any case. And because makefiles are fairly transparent, you can check what the install is doing beforehand.
