propellor

History

Joey Hess 79ee61d958 stable suite changes * Avoid encoding the current stable suite in propellor's code, since that poses a difficult transition around the release, and can easily be wrong if an older version of propellor is used. Instead, the os property for a stable system includes the suite name to use, eg Stable "wheezy". * stdSourcesList uses the stable suite name, to avoid unwanted immediate upgrades to the next stable release.		2014-10-10 11:27:54 -04:00

README.Debian

The Debian package of propellor ships its full source code because
propellor is configured by rebuilding it, and embraces modification of any
of the source code.

/usr/bin/propellor is a wrapper which will set up a propellor git
repository in ~/.propellor/, and run ~/.propellor/propellor if it exists.
Edit ~/.propellor/config.hs to configure it.

Note that upgrading the propellor package will not update your
~/.propellor/ repository. This is because you may have local changes
to the source, or may need to adapt your config.hs to work with the new
version of propellor. Instead, if your ~/.propellor/ is from an older
version of propellor, /usr/bin/propellor will warn that it's out of date,
and tell you how to merge in the changes.
