Distributions

got a little side-tracked - tried to install GitEye and it bombed for some reason.

Git's running on a 'calibre development directory', environment variable is set, profile is updated so I don't forget to do it again, I guess it's time to start pushing buttons.

@eschwartz - yep, the synology drive is just a headless linux box. I think they make a special distribution for it - a number of commands are not present by default (like rsync) - I figure I can run the application unmonitored, then tie in as needed. Not sure how I will get all the fetch script configurations copied over but one thing at a time. Recall the object here is to use their build package (spksrc), which will prove out the ARM path to be followed as well.

The good thing about the synology community is that I can make a build and they can help me verify that it works on their x86's as well - just doing a git publish request to their community and they chew on it from there. If I get this to build, I should be largely okay. I can futz with the ARM version later, since I can't test that.

@Chaley, I love the docker concept but I think i will set that aside for now. I suspect that's more than I can chew on right now. I will take a look at the forums, they might be able to add some insight and color onto this topic.
