VERTICAL APP-MERGING

Instructions for extending grains-universal into an OS or distro specific pop project

Install pop:

pip install --upgrade pop

Create a new directory for the project:

mkdir idem-{specific_platform}
cd idem-{specific_platform}

Use pop-seed to generate the structure of a project that extends grains and idem:

pop-seed -t v idem-{specific_platform} -d grains exec states

• “-t v” specifies that this is a vertically app-merged project

• “-d grains exec states” says that we want to implement the dynamic names of “grains”, “exec”, and “states”

Add “grains-universal” to the requirements.txt:

echo grains-universal >> requirements.txt

And that’s it! Go to town making grains, execution modules, and state modules specific to your specific platform. Follow the conventions you see in grains-universal.
