Matrix

A central concept in Nedryland is the matrix. The matrix is how build targets are accessed and the reason it is called a matrix is since the target layout can be thought of as a two-axis matrix. On one axis, we have all components and on the other axis, we have all targets. In addition to this, there are also some one-dimensional targets that always work on all components (deployment is usually one example).

An example matrix might look like:

This means that to build the package target of hammond we would access hammond.package:

To build all targets for hammond, we would access hammond:

and to build the target package for all components we would simply access targets.package:
