Roll files

Ruby Apps Nitro

I noticed all the Nitro subprojects now have a
meta/-.roll file which looks like YAML metadata about
the project. Is there any code yet that uses this? What’s exactly the
plan with this?

Just curious

This is for my Rolls system. It’s a library manager that supports
versioning. The main thing is it allows me to use Nitro without having
to install it (any changes I make is instantly available). On the flip
side, the same metadata can be used to generate packages (with Box
utility). The system is still going through some tweaks though --I’m
working on optimizing load times, so things are still changing a bit.
When I finally “get it just right”, I’ll let you all know, so you can
try it out if you want (it’s purely optional btw).
