BLENDS.CONF(5)

NAME
blends.conf - configuration for Debian Pure Blends registry

DESCRIPTION
This file is sourced from shell scripts inside the Debian Pure Blends package blends-common and thus it has to follow shell syntax. The variables which are set inside this configuration file can be overriden by special Blends configration files /etc/blends/<blend>/<blend>.conf for each single Blend.

SYNTAX
The following variables can be set:

DBBACKEND
    Set the backend for the user role management system. Currently the only implemented role management system is unixgroups but others might be implemented later. Unsetting this variable leads to use no roles at all.

UPDATEUSERMENU
    If this is set to yes the user menus of meta packages can be created automatically at install time of the package if the postinst script of the package allows this. It is suggested to use this option in the specific configuration files of a special Debian Pure Blend which overrides the settings of the general configuration file.

SHAREDIR
    Set the base directory for the user role management system. While this is more or less a feature for debugging this might be also used otherwise.

DRYRUN
    This variable can be set for debugging. Normally it should be left unset (NOT set to false or anything else!). If set to true a dry run of the tools is performed or echo DRYRUN: would print debugging information.

DEBUG
    If set to 1 debugging mode is switched on.
