=head1 NAME
caretaker - Package root setup
=head1 PACKAGE ROOT
First, you'll need to create a root directory (from now on PKG_ROOT) on the
server which shall from now on host all your packages.
Then you need to put the caretaker git repository into F<PKG_ROOT/caretaker> - it's recommended
to do this via git clone --bare.
Copy the pkglist script (include/pkglist) to F<PKG_ROOT/pkglist>.
Now you can add your own packages as git repos in PKG_ROOT.
To use caretaker with your packages on a machine, download and execute
the bootstrap script (include/bootstrap).
=head1 CREATING A PACKAGE
Example: a vim package
First of all, you'll need to create the package's git repository. Ideally you do not do
this in the package root itself, since it's recommended to have bare git repos there.
client ~ > cd /tmp
client /tmp > mkdir vim; cd vim
/client tmp/vim > git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/vim/.git/
/client tmp/vim > mkdir etc
/client tmp/vim > cp $your_fancy_vimrc etc/vimrc
/client tmp/vim > echo 'soft .vimrc $etc/vimrc' > links
/client tmp/vim > git add .
/client tmp/vim > git commit -m 'initial commit. Now with extra cake'
[master (root-commit) 4359548] initial commit. Now with extra cake
2 files changed, 51 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
create mode 100644 etc/vimrc
create mode 100644 links
You now have a working vim package, it just is not accessible to caretaker yet.
So let's fix that.
server $PKG_ROOT > GIT_DIR=vim git --bare init
client /tmp/vim > git push server:$PKG_ROOT/vim master
Now you can install the vim package the normal way
client ~ > ct update
Updating local package list
Updating remote package list
client ~ > ct add vim
Retrieving package vim...
[...]
created .vimrc -> packages/vim/etc/vimrc
And that's it. You can safely rm -rf /tmp/vim now.
