rset(1) operates by staging files on a remote system, then executing instructions embedded in the pln(5) files. Configuration may be written in any interpreter capable of executing input from a pipe. Bundled utilities rinstall(1) and rsub(1) provide standard means of installing and modifying configuration files.
The following operating systems are fully supported by the build and automated tests:
- OpenBSD
- FreeBSD
- MacOS
- Linux (glibc, coreutils)
- Linux (musl libc, busybox)
Other operating systems may be configured using rset(1) as long as they provide
a Unix-like environment running sshd with access to sh, awk and tar.
Compile-time options can be changed by editing config.h.
Build using
./configure
make
make install
Or to install locally
PREFIX=$HOME/local make install
The test suite depends on ruby and bundler.
make test
