ahriman/CONFIGURING.md

ahriman configuration

Some groups can be specified for each architecture separately. E.g. if there are build and build:x86_64 groups it will use the option from build:x86_64 for the x86_64 architecture and build for any other (architecture specific group has higher priority). In case if both groups are presented, architecture specific options will be merged into global ones overriding them.

settings group
