2018-04-30fix broken SemigroupMonoid transition <<loop>>Joey Hess
Turns out that with ghc 8.2.2, the instructions given on the page don't work. And the cppless variant that I had compiles, but into effectively mappend = mappend so it loops. The only way I can see to make it work without cpp is to use mappend = (Sem.<>) which is ugly and a land mine waiting to explode if someone changes it to a nicer mappend = (<>) with a newer version of ghc which will compile it and work ok, while breaking it with 8.2.2. Sigh. I posted to haskell-cafe about this.
2018-04-23semigroup monoid change fallout; drop ghc 7 supportJoey Hess
Fix build with ghc 8.4, which broke due to the Semigroup Monoid change. See https://prime.haskell.org/wiki/Libraries/Proposals/SemigroupMonoid Dropped support for building propellor with ghc 7 (as in debian oldstable), to avoid needing to depend on the semigroups transitional package, but also because it's just too old to be worth supporting. If we indeed drop ghc 7 support entirely, some code to support "jessie" can be removed; concurrent-output can be de-embedded, and the Singletons code can be simplified.

2018-01-06changes to allow GPT BIOS boot partitionsJoey Hess
* Parted: Allow partitions to have no filesystem, for eg, GPT BIOS boot partitions. (API change) * Added rawPartition to PartSpec, for specifying partitions with no filesystem. * Added BiosGrubFlag to PartFlag. Note that man parted does not list the "bios_boot" flag, but I found it in its html documentation. Other flags may also be missing. This commit was sponsored by Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. on Patreon.

2017-12-30installerJoey Hess
Added Propellor.Property.Installer modules, which can be used to create bootable installer disk images, which then run propellor to install a system. This code was extracted from the demo I gave at my talk at DebConf 2017, from the secret-project repository. That repository was AGPL licensed. I hereby relicense the code committed here under the same 2-clause BSD license as the rest of propellor. Changes from secret-project: Generalized UserInput to a type class, and added a lot more documentation and examples. This commit was sponsored by Brock Spratlen on Patreon.
