This project is mainly for +educational purposes. However, the aim is to package shione-specific +configuration in a way that would allow deployment to be reproducible. + +## Package-specific configuration + +Because shione runs GNU/Linux Debian, I wish to transform per-package config +into `.deb` packages themselves. This project is basically an application of +[`config-package-dev`](https://debathena.mit.edu/config-package-dev/). This +will allow me to integrate the modifications I introduce to the said packages +within the Debian packaging system which comes with many benefits. + +1. Quickly rebuild a host machine from scratch if needed. +2. Know the configuration state of each machine using the package manager. +3. Automatically update configuration by updating the system itself. +4. Integrate complex post-installation configuration, possibly such as + introducing cron jobs (is it possible?) as part of the configuration + package. + +## Project hierarchy + +It is not yet clear to me how I'll do this. I'm thinking perhaps about having a +single source package that produces multiple "binary" packages. Each one would +be a package-specific configuration. Standalone packages not specific to shione +will probably reside in their own git repository under the Debian section. + +## References + +* https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/notes/debian/git.html +* https://people.debian.org/~debalance/packaging-with-git.html +* http://honk.sigxcpu.org/projects/git-buildpackage/manual-html/gbp.import.upstream-git.html |
