Description Thomas Veith (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-16 15:02:31 UTC 
The Fault-Tolerant Shell (ftsh) is a small language for system integration that makes failures a first class concept. Ftsh aims to combine the ease of scripting with very precise error semantics. It is especially useful in building distributed systems, where failures are common, making timeouts, retry, and alternation necessary techniques. For example: 
try for 30 minutes
     cd /tmp
     rm -f data
     forany host in xxx yyy zzz
           wget http://${host}/fresh.data data
     end
end

ebuild for ftsh-2.0.3

This is the ebuild for ftsh-2.0.3.. In my overlay it is under app-shells, but
maybe it belongs to sys-cluster?

patch to fix some install-probs and a minor glitch in print of usage

This patch does 
.) allow to install ftsh in sandbox
.) find the dttools-includes (dev-libs/dttools, bug #44898)
.) change a bug in ftsh.c ( string concatenation over several lines )
.) change a test-case which doesnt work when run as user-root (checked after
install - under normal user all testcases work properly)
