uconf 0.3.8

UConf is a small tool aiming to provide simple handling of configuration files for an heterogeneous computer set.

Its key concepts are:

• Abstract host-specific config to common features (server, relay, …)
• Host-specific configuration may range from a single-line change to a whole file rewrite
• Configuration files are modified in place, not in the source - versionned - repository.

Configuring

You can get started with uconf init <source_dir> <target_dir>. This will generate the following layout:

./<source_dir>
    config
    src/

The config file is UConf’s main entry point. Its content should look like:

[global]
; Install files into the <target_dir> folder.
target: <target_dir>

; Default to parsing the files.
default-action: parse

[categories]
; Put your category definitions here
; Example:
; myserv: server
; server and slave: not master

[files]
; Add category-file rules
; server: ssh/sshd_config
; laptop: X11/xorg.conf

[rules]
; Override file rules here
; boot/splash_screen: copy
