[ENH] New Task Type: Task Proxy/Generator

Open nickgarber opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Hiya 👋

A task proxy/generator would provide a listing (in some consumable format), of task data, such that:

  • a task generator that includes something like make list, would cause the listing of targets to also be usable from project-tasks.

I don't have any particular constraints around how this is implemented, and may be interested in helping to add it based on your interest/feedback.

Perhaps this is already possible by having project-tasks execute and pass control to an interactive task that provides some sort of secondary interactive control.

For reference I use https://pydoit.org/, and GNU Make, and am becoming more curious in https://just.systems/ . So those are the downstream systems I have in mind when I'm describing this.

Thanks!

PS

  • Please don't feel any undo rush to add this. I'm just excited to see this project, and wanted to start a discussion on these ideas.
  • I've been slowly iterating on a personal (not-yet-published) project focused on using Org-Mode as a portable runtime that may have synergy with this.
