Initial commit

Everything is functional and it was already used to find some
regressions. Some parts are still beta-ish and need improvement.

+## Project Blin – Toasting Reinvented
+
+Blin is a quality assurance tool for
+[Rakudo](https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/) releases. Blin is based on
+[Whateverable](https://github.com/perl6/whateverable/).
+
+Blin was inspired by
+[Toaster](https://github.com/perl6-community-modules/perl6-Toaster). Here
+are some advantages:
+* Fetches archives from
+  [whateverable](https://github.com/perl6/whateverable/wiki/Shareable#bot-usage-examples)
+  instead of spending time to build rakudo
+* Installs modules in proper order to avoid testing the same module more than once
+* Deflaps modules that fail intermittently
+* Automatically bisects regressed modules
+* Avoids segfaults by producing no useful output instead of using DBIish
+
+
+### Installation
+
+Install required packages:
+```bash
+sudo apt install zstd lrzip
+```
+
+Install dependencies:
+
+```bash
+zef install --deps-only .
+```
+
+Many modules require native dependencies. See
+[this page](https://github.com/perl6-community-modules/perl6-Toaster/wiki)
+for the list of packages to install.
+
+
+### Running
+
+If you want to test one or more modules:
+
+```bash
+time PERL6LIB=lib ./bin/blin.p6 Foo::Regressed Foo::Regressed::Very Foo::Dependencies::B-on-A
+```
+
+If you want to test the whole ecosystem:
+```bash
+time PERL6LIB=lib ./bin/blin.p6
+```
+
+Estimated time to test the whole ecosystem with 24 cores is ≈60 minutes.
+
+**⚠☠ SECURITY NOTE: [issues mentioned in Toaster still
+apply.](https://github.com/perl6-community-modules/perl6-Toaster#warning-dangerus-stuf-ahed)
+Do not run this for the whole ecosystem on non-throwaway
+installs. ☠⚠**
+
+
+### Viewing
+
+See `output/overview` file for a basic overview of results. More
+details for specific modules can be found in `installed/`
+directory. Betters ways to view the data should come soon (hopefully).
