Bork feedback

Tested with Mac OSX Mavericks on a late 2011 MBP

My testing approach has been to erase a partition and install fresh Mavericks onto it. Run the scripts, tweak and then tear down and reinstall on the partition.

Some general thoughts:

  • if bork doesn't stop for errors, it should probably aggregate them and output post-flight
  • output can be very noisy if running scripts comingled (maybe I shouldn't be doing that though)
  • confused about what ok destination does in conjunction with ok symlink

Should probably be a bug report:

  • ok brew by itself doesn't install brew (though looking at the source, this bit appears to be commented out). It does check for it's presence though, once installed.

Should probably be a feature request:

  • I'd love to have a generic way to run a task that just looks for 0 or non-0 exits and cleans up the output (could go toward making the output less noisy when it's appropriate to drop to scripting)
  • what do you think about an scutil type (setting hostname is all I'm currently doing)?

Overall using bork has been very pleasant and straightforward. Thanks for the work :)

Understood on 1-5

ok exec and ok scutil as you describe are exactly what I'd want :)

Thanks again for bork, it's been a pleasure to work with!
