How to install folly

Folly is developer utility. This page carries no procedure of its own; it records what the project is and what to look at before touching it.

How it reaches a system

Expect differences between platforms. The same project may reach one system through a package index and another through a source build.

Who is behind it

Day-to-day direction belongs to the maintainers. They set the roadmap, cut releases, and decide which platforms stay supported.

First things to confirm

Confirm the platform still falls inside the supported range. Projects of this kind move quickly, and older systems tend to be dropped with little ceremony.

If something looks wrong

If the outcome is not what was expected, the cause is nearly always environmental: an earlier copy, a different channel, or a cache that has not been refreshed.

About this site

This domain carries reading notes only. Nothing is stored or re-published here, and every project remains where its authors placed it.

On reading release notes

Release notes are the cheapest way to catch a breaking change before it surprises you. They usually list platform shifts and removed defaults in the first few lines.
