| BuildStream |
| =========== |
| BuildStream is a flexible and extensible framework for the modelling of build |
| pipelines in a declarative YAML format, written in python. |
| |
| These pipelines are composed of abstract elements which perform mutations on |
| on *filesystem data* as input and output, and are related to eachother by their |
| dependencies. |
| |
| Basic element types for importing SDKs in the form of tarballs or ostree checkouts, |
| building software components and exporting SDKs or deploying bootable filesystem images |
| will be included in BuildStream, but it is expected that projects forge their own custom |
| elements for doing more elaborate things such as deploying software in special ways. |
