Agreed.
If I may move the topic back to "bash scripting" from "language bashing" .. ;)
I find shell scripting handles some tasks better than say Python. I would
rather use Python for these tasks but have not found a suitable solution. I
need to build large packages and capture the output sometimes via tee. This
output is often never less 100M and more often over 250M. How could I have
Python start the build and capture the output to disk ?
Capturing to memory in Python is not an viable option and I have looked at
threads that capture the output but this is more programming than scripting. I
see the problem I have as a scripting task not a programming one.
An example of the task being performed is to Canadian cross-compile on Linux
GCC for the RTEMS project's MinGW tool set for a number of target devices
(about 9). Everything is build from source.
