Wow!
While I found a viable solution for now to solve my initial problem by
just combining make and rsync (in short, Make does the updating while
"rsync --existing --ignore-existing" deletes any stale files without
doing any updates), tup seems to be one of the coolest projects that I
saw for quite a while.
Reading the associated documentation was a breeze, excellent! And
although it seems to be comprehensive, it is amazingly short. But what
really knocked me off is tup's handling of dependencies: In my daydreams
I always hoped for a GNU Make 4.0 that has internal support for
dependency resolution, e.g. by combining it with the Audited Objects
Build Tool (http://audited-objects.sourceforge.net/) from David Boyce.
But now, tup seems to make that dream to be reality beyond any expectations!
I certainly will have to work with tup for a while to fully appreciate
its concepts (as well as to understand its potential limitations), and
though I definitely don't want to port all my good old GNU Make projects
to tup, I'm sure I'll try tup for my next projects.
Thanks,
Chris
