2016-11-12The propellor wrapper checks if ./config.hs exists; if so it runs using the ↵Joey Hess
configuration in the current directory, rather than ~/.propellor/config.hs The config,hs name now seems a bit badly chosen, propellor.hs would be less ambiguous. To avoid accidentially running with a config.hs for something else, the file content has to contain "Propellor". Note that checkRepoUpToDate is only run for ~/.propellor/. I guess propellor configs in other directories won't have been set up that way, and it would take some changes to make that not hardcode use of dotPropellor. There's a new security boundary here, since running propellor looks at the cwd, whose contents might not be user the user's control. The security checks I added for this seem pretty good, but even if they can be bypassed, this is not much different than `make` using the Makefile in cwd. This commit was sponsored by Ole-Morten Duesund on Patreon.

2015-04-02Make propellor resistent to changes to shared libraries, such as libffiJoey Hess
* Make propellor resistent to changes to shared libraries, such as libffi, which might render the propellor binary unable to run. This is dealt with by checking the binary both when running propellor on a remote host, and by Cron.runPropellor. If the binary doesn't work, it will be rebuilt. * Note that since a new switch had to be added to allow testing the binary, upgrading to this version will cause a rebuild from scratch of propellor.

2014-11-23--spin can be passed multiple hosts, and it will provision each host in turn.Joey Hess
Note that if it fails to spin a host, it will stop. I think this is better than continuing to the next, because there might be a reason to spin hosts in some specific order (ie, update dns first and then use it).
