Purposes

As the Year 2021 is coming to an end, for this coming holiday season, ZORALab officially launches our new software manufacturing tool called ZORALab's Monteur. This tool can unilaterally manage all of our software repositories including dealing with chaotic artwork management and website development. The tool was developed to solve a few important problems:

  1. Offers high-level of customizations from commands to manufacturing environments; AND

  2. Offers strong consistency between commands script written by human while offering feature #1, thus, replacing Makefile entirely; AND

  3. Able to handle operating system construction like Yocto Project; AND

  4. Not introducing steep learning curve; AND

  5. Not letting users to install all project dependencies manually or forcing customers to learn specific technical knowledge just to use the project like Bazel Project; AND

  6. Be more maintainable than using Shell or BASH scripts; AND

  7. Prevent getting the repository into vendor locked-in due to proprietary CI services and commands; AND

  8. Provides localized executions for developer to get similar feedbacks instead of waiting for CI service executions; AND

  9. Will not incur any unnecessary monthly or yearly payment.

Hence, we developed the project with systematic and continuous improvements overtime. May we present you, for this festive holiday, the open-source licensed:
