It aims to support many different configurations in an intuitive manner, such as, but not limited to: * Downloading formulas from multiple sources * Keeping formula management to one single configuration file * Avoiding needing to modify the Salt master config file to add new formula sources Indeed, SaltStack are working on a tool, Salt Package Manager, that aims to do similar things. However, that tool feels a little "hacky", in my opinion, and doesn't use some of the tools that are already available to us, such as git/GitHub, and it requires the use of hosting packages out of a separate repository. Granted, that approach does have its positives, but I felt that I needed something a little lighter than that solution. To each their own :) ## Usage TODO - this needs to be done sometime... ## Configuration TODO - this needs to be done sometime... ## To Do What still needs done... * Tracking a specific commit * Tracking a tag * Better configuration management (e.g. maybe using a class to handle configuration, where to put the configuration files, etc) * Maybe not running a `git pull` on every repo, every time the script is run? * Managing multiple Salt environments ## License This program is licensed under the Mozilla Public License, version 2.0 (I'm not a license guru, if this needs to be changed to comply with other licenses, I'll gladly change it) ## Contact Email me at: brotherballantine@gmail.com Or you can find me on: * [Mastodon](https://mastodon.rocks/@brotherballan) * [Google+](https://plus.google.com/+GregoryBallantine1)
