Package: wnpp Owner: Jonas Weber <m...@jonasw.de> Severity: wishlist * Package name : involucro Version : 1.0.2-1 Upstream Author : Jonas Weber <m...@jonasw.de> * URL : https://github.com/thriqon/involucro * License : Apache-2.0 Programming Lang: Go Description : build and deliver software with containers
Building and delivering software is a complex task that can be made easier with proper encapsulation: Containers. They are able to pack all required dependencies (bitwise version controlled) so that you can release code with the confidence that everything works the same way it worked on the developers machine. Involucro makes invocation and creation of images as painless as possible, enabling reproducible software builds. Involucro is a custom client for the Docker engine. It is used to manage containers orchestrated by a workflow script, for example to build software from source using containerized compilers. The software is used by some projects already, and more are ready to pick it up. But for that to happen it needs to get visibility. I'm going to maintain this by myself. Since I'm the original author myself, there is no time lost in communication. Of course, I'm always happy to receive contributions, both in packaging and in upstream code.
