Boxer

Boxer is a tool for system deployment and for composing blend, i.e designing how to have a distribution unfold onto boxes.

Boxer is used to maintain the Debian Pure Blends DebianParl and ?DebianDesign.

Goal of Boxer is to encourage reuse of customizations, and to ease (re)integration with Debian. Ideally override files and scripts are used only to speedup development, then integrated into official Debian packages, and the final product uses only package lists and debconf, a.k.a. a Debian Pure Blend!

Use

apt-get install boxer

Development

We use Alioth with a mailinglist.

Code and default dataset is developed separately:

git clone git://git.debian.org/boxer/Boxer
git clone git://git.debian.org/boxer/boxer-data

Code is released to CPAN and packaged in the Perl team:

git clone git.debian.org:/git/pkg-perl/packages/boxer
