I thought I had written this somewhere but I couldn't find it so here goes.

In development machines, I would like to preserve the same program being used in multiple projects by not having duplicates. Currently, two projects depending on the same program of the same version and same checksum would be downloaded twice and unaware of each other. I think we should merge them.

Roughly, provided ~/.bindl/ exists, it should have:

• programs/ where all the programs are
• locks/ symlinks to where all locks exists in the given host

This means that the behavior of bindl {get,purge,verify} would have to take into account these path changes.

I think the default should still do what we're doing currently, until at some point user runs bindl generate hostconfig or something similar, which creates ~/.bindl/, then the behavior starts changing. But thoughts on this are welcome!

Possibly relevant #37

I learned about os.UserCacheDir and hacked up the caches of HTTP responses. I'm not exactly proud on this initial implementation (#53), but I think this solves half (reducing network calls) of this issue while the primary one (reducing disk usage) still yet to be solved.

This should take into account bindl purge cache workflow too 😬

❯ du -h -d1 ~/.cache/bindl
21G     ~/.cache/bindl
