gopherhole hacks
December 16th, 2020
----------------------------------------

I've started to play a bit around my gopherhole, here
on tilde.institute.  No noticeable difference for the
moment, if you're reading these pages.

It is all about maintenance of the content and
portability across multiple hosts.

So far I've been using burrow(1) to generate some
content.  This tool is very convenient, but I would
like to have more control upon things.

After a quick code check out, I figured I'd like to
have something more similar to a build system instead.
I wrote a little makefile, learning some BSD make in
the process, and using my relatively fresh awk-foo to
construct some building logic.

It seems to work fine so far, even thought it doesn't
do much besides compiling gophermaps from a parametric
document….

I'm not sure where this is going.  Probably one of the
many random project I start and that I never end.

In the worst case, I'll get more acquainted with the
tools available under OpenBSD.  (I've got a strong
GNU/Linux background, and just some shallow FreeBSD
knowledge so far).
