Properties now form a tree, instead of the flat list used before. This simplifies propigation of Info from the Properties used inside a container to the outer host; the Property that docks the container on the host can just have as child properties all the inner Properties, and their Info can then be gathered recursively. (Although in practice it still needs to be filtered, since not all Info should propigate out of a container.) Note that there is no change to how Properties are actually satisfied. Just because a Property lists some child properties, this does not mean they always have their propertySatisfy actions run. It's still up to the parent property to run those actions. That's necessary so that a container's properties can be satisfied inside it, not outside. It also allows property combinators to add the combined Properties to their childProperties list, even if, like onChange, they don't always run the child properties at all. Testing: I tested that the exact same Info is calculated before and after this change, for every Host in my config file. |

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 Instead, if your ~/.propellor/ is from an older version of propellor, /usr/bin/propellor will warn that it's out of date, and tell you how to merge in the changes.
