Does bbin support installing multiple libraries from bb.edn?

[teodorlu]

Since :bbin/bin is a map, I assumed installing multiple binaries was okay:

{:deps {io.github.teodorlu/shed {:local/root "."}}
 :bbin/bin {update-repos {:main-opts ["-m" "teodorlu.shed.update-repos/-main"]}
            browsetxt {:main-opts ["-m" "teodorlu.shed.browsetxt/-main"]}}}

(source)

But this seems to only install update-repos. Originally asked on Slack.

Should bbin be able to install multiple binaries, and not just one?

I think this could be improved. PR welcome if @rads agrees.

The first key-value pair is picked in a (some-> bin-config first key str) here. Looks like the rest of the install-deps-git-or-local function assumes that script-name is one script and not multiple scripts.

Yep, the map is intentional to support multiple scripts, though I haven't gotten around to implementing that quite yet. See also:
