About the xPack GNU Bash

The project

The xPack GNU Bash project is part of the xPack Reproducible Build Framework and is hosted on GitHub as xpack-dev-tools/bash-xpack, part of the xPack Binary Development Tools.

Project history

The project was created in May 2024, but only some experimental builds were performed, and no releases were done.

August 2024

The project underwent a comprehensive restructuring. To streamline the top package.json by showcasing only user-related definitions and concealing build-related ones, all build-related files were relocated to the build-assets folder. Furthermore, the development Git branch was renamed to xpack-development for enhanced clarity.

The web site

In August 2024 the website content was added in the website folder, as an instance of the Docusaurus template. Additionally a GitHub Action was added to automatically publish the site upon any pushes to the website Git branch.
