VERTICAL APP-MERGING

Instructions for extending idem-posix into an OS specific pop project

Install pop:

pip install --upgrade pop

Create a new directory for the project:

mkdir idem-{specific_posix_os}
cd idem-{specific_posix_os}

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

pop-seed -t v idem-{specific_posix_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-posix” to the requirements.txt:

echo idem-posix >> requirements.txt

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