Checkout formulas

Formulas are registered as submodules with commit marking current release. To checkout latest release, simply init and update submodules:

git submodule init
git submodule update

To checkout master branch and start developing, you can use myrepos tool:

mr --trust-all -j4 run git checkout master
mr --trust-all -j4 update

To make this simpler, you can use Makefile for the same:

make submodules
make update

Building docs

Documentation source is living in doc directory and is including readmes from formulas directory (so you should ensure they are cloned before building documentation).

In most cases, you want to build html or pdf so you can use these two Makefile targets:

make html
make pdf

Results will be in doc/build directory.

Add new formula

To add new formula into the ecosystems, follow these steps:

1. Request creation of repository on Github salt-formulas organization, include link to current version of formula for review. To do this, join mailing list and use it to let others know (salt-formulas@freelists.org)
2. Push your code into new repository, you can also tag new version
3. Run ./scripts/add_repo.sh formula_name to add new Git submodule
4. Re-generate .mrconfig with ./scripts/gen_mrconfig.py, that script will scrape github.com/salt-formulas and generate up-to-date .mrconfig file
5. Include new formula readme in doc/source/develop/overview-formula.rst
6. Create pull request with formulas/new_formula_name (new submodule) and updated .mrconfig

Documentation and Bugs

To learn how to install and update salt-formulas, consult the documentation available online at:

http://salt-formulas.readthedocs.io/

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate issue tracker. Use Github issue tracker for specific salt formula.

For feature requests, bug reports or blueprints affecting entire ecosystem, use Launchpad salt-formulas project:

https://launchpad.net/salt-formulas

Developers wishing to work on the salt-formulas projects should always base their work on master branch and submit pull request against specific formula.

You should also subscribe to mailing list (salt-formulas@freelists.org):
