DESCRIPTION

Thorium::BuildConf consists of two main parts. The configuration console GUI and the file generator.

The configuration console GUI provides a way someone unfamiliar with your application to alter the defaults. They may save a version into their own preset or use a fixup.

FEATURES

CONFIGURATION CONSOLE GUI

Thorium::BuildConf uses Hobocamp (bindings for dialog(1)) and it's widget set for an interactive console user interface.

You should use

KNOBS

A knob is anything that is tunable with strict or loose input validation. See Thorium::BuildConf::Knob for creating your own custom knob.

A preset is a static YAML data specific to a user or an environment.
