Boxer
Boxer is a tool for system deployment and for composing ?DebianPureBlends#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
