It's a tree-structured build system, able to produce agnostic packages in a reproducible and controlled manner.
[0]: An alternative tool such as sudo(8) can also be used; you just need to edit config/defaults
. The root permissions are only used to chroot and (u)mount tmpfs.
[1]: The Eltanin's redo implementation has a different behaviour (as stated in its own page); if you plan to use another implementation a patch must be applied.
First of all you need to bootstrap it:
$ cd arbor
$ export ARBOR=$PWD
$ ./bootstrap
Build all the packages:
$ bin/arbor -a
Build a package:
$ bin/arbor ${package_name}
Populate a remote repository with the built packages:
$ bin/arbor -p
Populate a local repository with the populated remote repositories:
$ bin/arbor -o /venus-store/repo/disk
