Scott,
That's a lot of command files! I created a repo just for these!

https://github.com/Radmind/radmind-examples

I created a discussion. Patrick McNeal said we should feel free to do with it whatever we want. I've reached out to Wes Craig and Andrew Mortensen in the past about different things and they didn't respond.

https://github.com/Radmind/radmind/discussions/345

Anyway, I've gone ahead and cloned libsnet to GitHub but it's private right now. GitHub had a tool that migrated the project for me. It was really easy. After a few days, I'll go ahead and make it public and switch the build scripts to use it.

One other thing. I've been involved with the pkgx.sh and I've been creating packages for it. I'm working on creating a package for radmind. This is my package for libsnet, which I have to do before I can do radmind. https://github.com/pkgxdev/pantry/pull/5239 I'm just waiting for them to merge cyrus-sasl, which is used by libsnet. https://github.com/pkgxdev/pantry/pull/5240.

Not sure how this will survive if I ever retire.  I have a command files for each of several OS versions from Leopard through Sonoma (I skip a few).  Hopefully the Leopard computers will be retired this year but I have been saying that for the last 5 years.

I get a snapshot of all files after a clean install of the OS and then add in my transcripts for the generic applications, configuration and data files.  This is all very fast and simple.  I guess the hard part is getting the first machine and installing applications one by one and then capturing the changes.
