Looks Great -- Future Plans?

Hey @mmone --- this is really the only way I have to reach out to you. I hope you're well. We were discussing some different distribution methods for Klipper, I came to do another fork of your octoprint plugin, and noticed this marlintool project. Can you tell me a little about it? It looks like something I would have substantial interest in. I am attempting to utilize some kind of container system like docker that is architecture agnostic for different distributions of Klipper.... i'm curious, what is the primary purpose of this project?

Sorry, let me be a little more specific; I of course realize what the application does from the surface, just wondering if it was meant as strictly a user-executed command line script, or if this was something you would see being used by config generation scripts?

The primary reason for creating this script was to enable building Marlin on a Raspberry Pi. Building on the comandline is more convenient than fiddling with the Arduino IDE in my opinion, and the Pi is connected to the printer board anyway if you run Octoprint.

Thank you, yeah this is actually awesome and I appreciate it! I am going to be moving my print farm to a different workshop soon and this will be an awesome way to push marlin out to the machines I Have running it. Hmm... you know, this functionality could be used by folks with print farms to manage their configs, resources, etc... Anyways, I wondered if you had looked at any of the offshoots of interfacing with Klipper -- such as via the Duet interface. We are kinda brainstorming different ways of making Klipper standalone. Anyways, awesome work.

I'd agree marlintool is absolutely brilliant - I've used arduino and raspberry pi's for years but the tools and instructions are SO confusing. Marlintool saved me a lot of time and headaches - many many thanks.
