This directory contains some miscellaneous scripts.

devstrap.sh bootstraps the toolshelf in use to be docked under itself.

toolsh-all.sh, toolsh-dock-distfile.sh, and toolsh-relink.sh were attempts to re-implement some core toolshelf functionality directly in the Bourne shell.

This is a good idea. We should plan to rewrite large chunks as standalone scripts in Bourne shell + Lua. (Lua is pre-installed on NetBSD. Even on systems where it is not pre-installed, it takes super much less time to build from source than Python does.)

• toolsh-pwd: parse specs and echo what directories they resolve to.
• toolsh-build: build logic.
• toolsh-rectperms: rectify_permissions logic.
• toolsh-tether: tether logic.
• toolsh-relink: relink logic.

Then the driver can do something like:

CMD=$1
SPECS=$*  # shift...
if [ x"$CMD" = "x" ]; then
    usage()
fi

echo '' > $LOGFILE
DIRS=`toolsh-pwd $SPECS`

if [ $CMD = build ]; then
    for DIR in $DIRS; do
        cd $DIR
        toolsh-build >> $LOGFILE
    done
elsif ...
else
    usage()
fi

cat $LOGFILE

One complication is accessing cookies and hints and things. toolsh-gethint, written in Lua, I imagine, something like that.
