That would have the nice side effect of killing the systemd/init debate. (Disclaimer: I was foolish enough to write a continuous integration script in bash).

- flukus 9y agoWhat's wrong with a continuous integration script in bash? A basic CI script just has to check source control periodically, run the build (make or something similar) and notify anyone if there's an error and maybe publish the result somewhere. I've done similar with the far less capable batch files. Sure it's not as great as a full on CI server, but it doesn't require the same investment either. For my personal projects I have bash scripts to handle basic CI (compiling and testing), given a bit of time I think I could string cron, make, bash and m4 into a CI server that fits 90%+ of my needs.
- cozzyd 9y agoOh it was great in the sense that it was very quick to write and it works... but it is not very easy to graft on new features.
- chubot 9y agoFWIW I wrote a post that touched on that debate last year: http://www.oilshell.org/blog/2017/01/13.html http://www.oilshell.org/blog/2017/01/13.html (I didn't come down on either side of the debate -- it's more of an exploration.)
