Avery Pennarun 6cf06f707a shelltest.od: we accidentally treated some fails as mere warnings.
We were setting a global variable FAIL on failure, but if we failed
inside a subshell (which a very small number of tests might do), this
setting would be lost.  The script output (a series of failed/warning
lines) was still valid, but not the return code, so the shell might be
selected even if one of these tests failed.

To avoid the problem, put the fail/warning state in the filesystem
instead, which is shared across subshells.

redo - a recursive build system

Smaller, easier, more powerful, and more reliable than make.

This is an implementation of Daniel J. Bernstein's redo build system. He never released his version, so other people have implemented different variants based on his published specification.

This version, sometimes called apenwarr/redo, is probably the most advanced one, including support for parallel builds, improved logging, and helpful debugging features.

To build and test redo, run ./do -j10 test. To install it, run DESTDIR=/tmp/testinstall PREFIX=/usr/local ./do -j10 install.
