Nest Build

An automated package builder for lazy maintainers.

Dependencies

Nest build requires python3.6+. To install its dependencies, run

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

How it works

Nest build uses a python file (called a build manifest) to describe how the compilation should be performed. The build manifest downloads the source code of a software, compiles it and splits it into multiple packages. All of this is done thanks to a powerful library included in nest build: the standard compilation library. This library automates all the hard tasks while still providing a great granularity of modifications regarding those automated tasks.

Examples of build manifests can be found in the nbuild-manifests repository.

Documentation

The documentation of the standard compilation library is hosted here, but it can also be locally generated with the following commands:

$ pip install -r docs/requirements.txt
$ sphinx-apidoc -f --separate -o docs/source/ .
$ make -C docs html
