Configuration

Basics

Packthing supports recursive project definitions and will attempt to source packthing.yml files found in included repositories.

Caution
Use spaces, not tabs

packthing.yml files use the YAML (Yet Another Markup Language) format, which does not accept tabs. If you are having trouble with your configuration, try a YAML Validator to find any trouble spots..

Packthing attempts to notify you whenever prerequisites are not met beforehand, but it cannot warn of problems with the user’s application itself.

FAQ

  1. Can I use a single packthing file to support multiple configurations?

    Packthing does not currently support conditional configurations. You would have to create different packthing files, and specify them with -f when building.
