Wizard
======
-Wizard is the next-generation autoinstall management service for
-scripts.mit.edu. It's current focus is on automating the upgrading
-process using a Git backend, and in the future will administrate all
-aspects of autoinstalls (installation and upgrades).
+Wizard is the next-generation autoinstall management system. It
+is currently being developed as an in-house tool for scripts.mit.edu,
+with a focus on automating the upgrading process using a Git backend.
+
+Ultimately, we would like to see Wizard become a general purpose
+web application package manager, with first class support for a variety
+of applications under a homogenous interface.
Usage
-----
into a scripts server and add Wizard to your path::
ssh scripts.mit.edu
- export PATH="/mit/scripts/wizard/bin:$PATH"
+ add /mit/scripts/wizard/bin
wizard help
+Individual tools that are not scripts-specific, such as ``wizard upgrade``
+or ``wizard install``, can be run locally with Python 2.6 and a reasonably
+new version of Git.

Development
-----------
-You can retrieve a copy of the source code from AFS at
-:file:`/mit/scripts/git/wizard.git`
+The canonical source of the Wizard source code is the directory
+:file:`/mit/scripts/git/wizard.git` on AFS.
+
+The live version of the source code lives at :file:`/mit/scripts/wizard`
+and should be periodically updated as necessary (use the ``pull.sh`` script; you will
+need scripts-root bits to do so). Documentation lives in
+:file:`/mit/scripts/web_scripts/home/wizard`; the post-merge
+hook on this Git repository should perform the appropriate rebuild.
+
+Certain commands must be run as root on ``not-backward.mit.edu``
+due to our restrictive security policies. This machine maintains
+its own copy of Wizard at :file:`/wizard`. If you make local changes
+to this copy and would like to push them back to the core repository,
+you should push to a ``system:scripts-security-upd`` writable
+directory in your home directory, and then on a trusted machine
+perform the push to the canonical repository.
