VERTICAL APP-MERGING

Instructions for extending idem-aix into an OS or os specific pop project

Install pop:

pip install --upgrade pop

Create a new directory for the project:

mkdir idem-{specific_aix_os}
cd idem-{specific_aix_os}

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

pop-seed -t v idem-{specific_aix_os} -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 “idem-aix” to the requirements.txt:

echo "idem-aix @ git+https://gitlab.com/saltstack/pop/idem-aix.git" >> requirements.txt

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