I've been using make myself. The main barrier I keep running into is that it's actually quite challenging to : 1. Use make/bash to work with things like JSON, mustache, images, markdown, less, sass, uglifyjs, etc. etc.. 2. Do so in a way that is portable to even other unixish machines. 3. Why doesn't make provide an easy way to input a BIG LIST of files into a command? The choices (I'm aware of) are to put them all on one line, work out some wildcard (which doesn't work on arbitrary lists of files you need in a particular order), or--- have backslash escaped line endings! yuck! nodejs isn't available in the debian stable packages repo. The available mustache command line tools are pathetically bad at this task (I had to write my own). I can make it work beautifully on my machine, but as soon as it hits my co-workers machine, the build breaks because they haven't installed pandoc, or ripmime, or whatever other utility I had to use to get things done. So, I don't know, maybe I'm doing things wrong. But I haven't got this to work particularly well yet. And uh.. windows.
yep. |
