Features

• Clone / checkout open source projects en masse, seperated by programming language
• Update all projects at once
• VCS support: git, hg (should work with svn, cvs too). Have a pkg dependency you need to include? add it via the pillar file (for python only as of 2013-08-13)
• Python only: automatically creates virtualenvwrapper compatible environments for code. So you can workon the same code you are studying.

Setup

git clone https://github.com/tony/salt-study.git /srv/salt/tony-study

Edit master file /etc/salt/master and / or /etc/salt/minion file:

pillar_roots:
    base:
        - .. your current pillars
        - /srv/salt/tony-study/pillar

file_roots:
    base:
        - .. your current file_roots
        - /srv/salt/tony-study

Add study_repos to your highest pillar top.sls file.

Copy pillar/study_repos.sls.example to pillar/study_repos.sls.

Config variables

Variable	Use
study_username	User and Group for file ownership
study_dir	The directory with the study repos will be cloned to. I use /home/tony/study/. Remember trailing slash.
vcs_pkg_sls	List of vcs sls packages to include as dependencies
python_sls	Name of python sls package to include if you have dependencies for python / virtualenv / virtualenvwrapper.
study repos	Categorized by subject -> vcs -> { projectname: 'repo url' }

To do

• Convert the rest of the sample subjects to the pillar data format (c.sls and c++.sls isn't yet.
• Allow the other pillars to have package dependencies from pillar config, study_sls_pkg for all study sls subjects.
• hg to require a pkg mercurial.
