The data repository contains all source files and configuration data that
describes the work that rcmpy should do.
Design goals:
- Integrates easily with version-control software by using only text data
- Can be shared by multiple active users or developers
- Configuration files and data can be isolated to a particular user's "variant"
- User-specific additions can be promoted to common, shared assets easily (e.g. the "new default" for users that don't tailor their own settings)
- Able to describe software/packages that should be installed, and at what version
- The single-source-of-truth and backbone of "what software does my workflow or entire ecosystem use"
- Be as intuitive to understand in organization and function as possible
