I'm very curious about this. Tell me more.
- tptacek 10mo agoI didn't even catch this the first read. `age` is a command line program written in Go. It's not a system service. Simply "having it installed" on your system can't do anything.
- fn-mote 10mo agoIf it fails to build when the system is updated? Poster says: > slowed down my deployments I take that to mean the _deployment_ step, not the deployed system.
- technion 10mo agoThere is a downloadable binary, I doubt many people recommending age are recommending every server using it also download a Go compiler and build it themselves.
- jwr 9mo agoWhat I meant was that the ansible recipe for building and installing age broke within a year. I didn't investigate why, I just switched it off, but it was a data point. Yes, I know this can surely be explained and isn't a "fair" comparison. But then again my time is limited and I need predictable, reliable tools.
