Snapraid-runner is supposed to be a small tool with clear focus. It should not have any dependencies to keep installation trivial. I always welcome bugfixes and contributions, but be aware that I will not merge new features that I feel do not fit the core purpose of this tool.
I keep the PRs for features I do not plan on merging open, so if there's a feature you are missing, you can have a look at the open PRs.
