Martin Pitt 1edb6a070b Remove some instances of "starter kit"
Rename some files and change some identifiers to be neutral to the
application name. This makes it simpler to change everything to a proper
name when cloning this project.

Document in the README how to find the remaining places to change.

# Cockpit Starter Kit
Scaffolding for a [Cockpit](http://www.cockpit-project.org) module.
# Building
Run `make` to build the package. It builds into the `dist` directory. Link or
copy that to a location were `cockpit-bridge` looks for packages.
`make install` compiles and installs the package in `/usr/share/cockpit/`. The
convenience targets `srpm` and `rpm` build the source and binary rpms,
respectively. Both of these make use of the `dist-gzip` target, which is used
to generate the distribution tarball. In `production` mode, source files are
automatically minified and compressed. Set `NODE_ENV=production` if you want to
duplicate this behavior.
# Testing
Run `make check` to build an RPM, install it into a standard Cockpit test VM
(centos-7 by default), and run the test/check-application integration test on
it. This uses Cockpit's Chrome DevTools Protocol based browser tests, through a
Python API abstraction. Note that this API is not guaranteed to be stable, so
if you run into failures and don't want to adjust tests, consider checking out
Cockpit's test/common from a tag instead of master (see the `test/common`
target in `Makefile`).
After the test VM is prepared, you can manually run the test without rebuilding
the VM, possibly with extra options for tracing and halting on test failures
(for interactive debugging):
TEST_OS=centos-7 test/check-application -tvs
You can also run the test against a different Cockpit image, for example:
TEST_OS=fedora-27 make check
# Vagrant
This directory contains a Vagrantfile that installs and starts cockpit on a
Fedora 26 cloud image. Run `vagrant up` to start it and `vagrant rsync` to
synchronize the `dist` directory to `/usr/local/share/cockit/starter-kit`. Use
`vagrant rsync-auto` to automatically sync when contents of the `dist`
directory change.
# Customizing
After cloning the Starter Kit you should rename the files, package names, and
labels to your own project's name. Use these commands to find out what to
change:
find -iname '*starter*'
git grep -i starter
