Code layout

The 0.3 revision of XSCE software has been made more modular.

Configuration consists of a series of scripts in the plugins.d tree. Major services are separated under plugins.d. The layout of each plugin is described in http://schoolserver.wordpress.com/xs-installation/add-a-service-to-school-server-by-creating-a-plugin/.

In the 0.2 release, the code lived in the xs-config/ dir. Consider these 3 subdirectories of xs-config:

1. scripts/
   Configuration consists of a series of scripts which live in the scripts/ dir. The process is kicked off by running xs-setup. xs-setup calls a series of scripts with the naming convention the xs-[ServiceName] each of which set up an individual service.
2. cfg/etc/
   When necessary, the xs-[ServiceName] scripts installs files from under cfg/etc as necessary.
3. cfg/html/top/
   The web based GUI is located under cfg/html/top/
