It helps to keep targets (usually, but not neccessarily, files) , up-to-date with respect to a set of dependencies. For every target, a (freely definable) rule describes what it means for the target to be out-of-date and what has to be done to refresh it. Bras can follow targets into other directories. It acts there according to the local brasfile to update the target and then reports the result back. Because no recursive execution of bras is necessary, the result of the reasoning for that other directory is not lost. Bras is implemented in Tcl. Rules can be mixed with procedural parts. In particular control structures can be used to automatically collect lists of targets, find out platform specifics or selectively activate rules. 'Bras' normally runs from the command line, but its rule eveluation functionality is available as a TCL module and can be used in a GUI application implemented in Tcl/tk.<br /> |User level=none<br /> |Status=Live<br /> |Component programs=<br /> |Homepage URL=http://bras.berlios.de/<br /> |VCS checkout command=<br /> |Computer languages=Tcl<br /> |Documentation note=User manual available in PDF fromat from http://bras.berlios.de/bras.pdf; User manual available in PostScript format from http://bras.berlios.de/bras.ps<br /> |Paid support=<br /> |IRC help=<br /> |IRC general=<br /> |IRC development=<br /> |Related projects=Distribulator,RunLaunch,make<br /> |Keywords=command line,system administration,Tcl,command,dependencies,command execution,bras,congfiguration<br /> |Is GNU=n<br /> |Last review by=Janet Casey<br /> |Last review date=2002-02-25<br /> |Submitted by=Database conversion<br /> |Submitted date=2011-04-01<br /> |Version identifier=2.2.1<br /> |Version date=2002-02-11<br /> |Version status=stable<br /> |Version download=http://download.berlios.de/bras/bras-2.3.tar.gz<br /> |License verified date=2002-02-11<br /> |Version comment=2.2.1 stable released 2002-02-11<br /> }}<br /> {{Person<br /> |Role=Maintainer<br /> |Real name=Harald Kirsch<br /> |Email=pifpafpuf@gmx.de<br /> |Resource URL=<br /> }}<br /> {{Resource<br /> |Resource audience=Bug Tracking,Developer,Support<br /> |Resource kind=E-mail<br /> |Resource URL=mailto:pifpafpuf@gmx.de<br /> }}<br /> {{Software category<br /> |Interface=command-line<br /> |System-administration=configuration<br /> |Use=system-administration<br /> }}<br /> {{Project license<br /> |License=GPLv2<br /> |License verified by=Janet Casey<br /> |License verified date=2002-02-11<br /> }}</div>
