propellor 1.1.0 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* --spin target --via relay causes propellor to bounce through an
intermediate relay host, which handles any necessary uploads
when provisioning the target host.
* --spin can be passed multiple hosts, and it will provision each host
in turn.
* Add --merge, to combine multiple --spin commits into a single, more useful
commit.
* Hostname parameters not containing dots are looked up in the DNS to
find the full hostname.
* propellor --spin can now deploy propellor to hosts that do not have
git, ghc, or apt-get. This is accomplished by uploading a fairly
portable precompiled tarball of propellor.
* Propellor.Property.OS contains properties that can be used to do a clean
reinstall of the OS of an existing host. This can be used, for example,
to do an in-place conversion from Fedora to Debian.
This is experimental; use with caution!
* Added group-related properties. Thanks, Félix Sipma.
* Added Git.barerepo. Thanks, Félix Sipma.
* Added Grub.installed and Grub.boots properties.
* New HostContext can be specified when a PrivData value varies per host.
* hasSomePassword and hasPassword now default to using HostContext.
To specify a different context, use hasSomePassword' and
hasPassword' (API change)
* hasSomePassword and hasPassword now make sure shadow passwords are enabled.
* cron.runPropellor now runs propellor, rather than using its Makefile.
This is more robust.
* propellor.debug can be set in the git config to enable more persistent
debugging output.
* Run apt-cache policy with LANG=C so it works on other locales.
* endAction can be used to register an action to run once propellor
has successfully run on a host."""]]
