Basic usage

manifest works by parsing a YAML file (called packages.yml), where you describe your package, subpackages and their dependencies. The file looks like this:

build:
  sysroot: sysroot
  working-dir: working_dir
  prefix: prefix
  patches: patches_dir

packages:
  # ...

Under packages, you may list any number of packages you want to install, like this:

- name: name
  clone-at: directory
  git: repo
  ftp: url
  tag: tag
  dependencies:
      - package1
      - package2
      - # ...
  build:
    # ...

The subcommands are as follows:

$ python3 manifest.py --help

Usage:
  manifest build    Build packages
  manifest list     List packages

Options:
  -h --help         Show this message
