The conf/ system ================= Nico Schottelius 0.1, for cinit 0.3, Initial version from 2006-12-08 :Author Initials: NS This documentes describes the configuration system used by cinit. What is the conf/ system? ------------------------- The conf/ system is the configuration system for the cinit build. The first line of each file below conf/ is a configuration value with the name of the file: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [9:00] hydrogenium:cinit-0.3pre6% head -n 1 conf/cc gcc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This means that the variable "cc" has the value "gcc". What is the reason for conf/? ----------------------------- I needed a small and simple configuration system, which may be included in the full build process. Is conf/ also usable for other projects? ---------------------------------------- In its current state conf/ is just a prototype, with which I experiement a lot. But it is possible that the future aim is to provide a simele configuration and autoconfiguraton mechanism.
