- flohofwoe 4y agoUploading build output somewhere for instance. However this may overlap with CI tasks (but there, usually YAML is used to run shell commands, which is also a bit of a crutch).
- bonzini 4y agoThat is a task for CI, not for a build system. A build system should ideally be able to run in a container that has no network at all.
- flohofwoe 4y agoThat's just your opinion though ;) Why should the process of producing a build artifact be different from putting the artifact into the right place? E.g. Makefiles usually have a 'make install' step which isn't all that different from uploading the build result somewhere, and make definitely counts as a build system.
