support anonymous projects #26

Closed tkittel closed 10 months ago

tkittel commented 11 months ago

A user project without a project.name might make sense, if is not intended to have downstream projects. We could simple automatically assign it a name "unnamed01" (and then "unnamed02" ...). Once e.g. pkgfilters support bundle/project names, we might want "main" to always indicate the main one (which is the one being edited, since [build] sections of other cfgs are always ignored).

Any attempt at depending on such a project should of course fail with a clear error message.

Hmm... I just tried, it seems to already work. Need to verify why, and check the corner cases. It is tied into #3 since it is nice if the autogenerated cfg file does not add a name by default.

I think this is basically OK.
