This project is still being developed, even without the core features. The "README" below is a faked proof-of-concept, meant only to show what I'm heading for approximately.

About

HashedBuild helps you describe and instantiate Linux operating systems (and more) with code. It features:

• output reproducibility (one specific input results in one specific output),
• incremental updates (a small change should take shorter to build, a big change - longer),
• standard compliance (what is used here is used also in many other projects),
• an extensible design (anyone interested is able to write himself/herself any extra features),
• a standard library (the most common operations are already bulit-in).

See also NixOS and Guix.
