tori looks for configuration in ~/.config/tori.
In this directory, you can create the following files and directories:
tori.conf: configures options that will determine how tori itself behavespackages: a list of packages containing one package name per line- blank lines and lines beginning with a
#are ignored
- blank lines and lines beginning with a
base: a directory containing any number of files you can tell tori to copy to specific locations
Configuration options
The tori.conf file must use the following format:
tori_root = ~/.local/apps/my-tori-installation
The following configuration options can be used to specify how you want tori to behave:
tori_root
Configuration options are case insensitive. The spaces around the = character are optional. Blank lines and lines beginning with a # are ignored.
You can use ~ and $HOME to represent your home directory. $HOME will be replaced in every occasion with your home directory, while ~ will only be replaced for the first occasion it appears in the configuration value.
Configuration values must not contain the character *.
Package lists
tori will read the packages file and check if it matches the currently installed packages. If it does not match, it will ask you how to proceed.
If you would prefer not to be asked how to proceed, you can configure a default action to be taken for package mismatch resolution.
Base files
tori will go through the contents of the base directory and take different actions depending on how they are laid out.
If you have top-level directories inside base that match the directories starting from your system's root (for example, a base/etc directory), tori will recursively inspect this directory for files and compare them to the contents of the matching directories in the system.
If any of the files differ from their counterparts on the actual system, tori will ask you how to proceed. If you do not want to be asked every time, you can configure tori to take a specific action without asking.
If you decide to do so, bear in mind important files may get overwritten without warning. tori will create backups in the bkp directory every time a file is modified or overwritten.
If you would rather not replicate the system directory hierarchy in your basedirectory, you can also place the files inside base itself or in any other structure you desire.
In this case, you will have to manually specify if you want these files to be matched against any system-level files, and, if so, where those files are.
