 -----------
 Manages the list of keys used by apt to authenticate packages.
 
-This is done by placing the requested key in a file named
-``$__object_id.gpg`` in the ``keydir`` directory.
-
-This is supported by modern releases of Debian-based distributions.
-
-In order of preference, exactly one of: ``source``, ``uri`` or ``keyid``
-must be specified.
-
 
 REQUIRED PARAMETERS
 -------------------
@@ -26,49 +18,21 @@ None.
 
 OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
 -------------------
-keydir
-   keyring directory, defaults to ``/etc/apt/trusted.pgp.d``, which is
-   enabled system-wide by default.
-
-source
-   path to a file containing the GPG key of the repository.
-   Using this is recommended as it ensures that the manifest/type manintainer
-   has validated the key.
-   If ``-``, the GPG key is read from the type's stdin.
-
 state
    'present' or 'absent'. Defaults to 'present'
 
-uri
-   the URI from which to download the key.
-   It is highly recommended that you only use protocols with TLS like HTTPS.
-   This uses ``__download`` but does not use checksums, if you want to ensure
-   that the key doesn't change, you are better off downloading it and using
-   ``--source``.
-
-
-DEPRECATED OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
-------------------------------
 keyid
-   the id of the key to download from the ``keyserver``.
-   This is to be used in absence of ``--source`` and ``--uri`` or together
-   with ``--use-deprecated-apt-key`` for key removal.
-   Defaults to ``$__object_id``.
+   the id of the key to add. Defaults to __object_id
 
 keyserver
-   the keyserver from which to fetch the key.
-   Defaults to ``pool.sks-keyservers.net``.
+   the keyserver from which to fetch the key. If omitted the default set
+   in ./parameter/default/keyserver is used.
 
+keydir
+   key save location, defaults to ``/etc/apt/trusted.pgp.d``
 
-DEPRECATED BOOLEAN PARAMETERS
------------------------------
-use-deprecated-apt-key
-   ``apt-key(8)`` will last be available in Debian 11 and Ubuntu 22.04.
-   You can use this parameter to force usage of ``apt-key(8)``.
-   Please only use this parameter to *remove* keys from the keyring,
-   in order to prepare for removal of ``apt-key``.
-   Adding keys should be done without this parameter.
-   This parameter will be removed when Debian 11 stops being supported.

-======================
-
-NAME
-----
-cdist-type__apt_pin - Manage apt pinning rules
-
-
-DESCRIPTION
------------
-Adds/removes/edits rules to pin some packages to a specific distribution. Useful if using multiple debian repositories at the same time. (Useful, if one wants to use a few specific packages from backports or perhaps Debain testing... or even sid.)
-
-
-REQUIRED PARAMETERS
--------------------
-distribution
-   Specifies what distribution the package should be pinned to. Accepts both codenames (buster/bullseye/sid) and suite names (stable/testing/...).
-
-
-OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
--------------------
-package
-   Package name, glob or regular expression to match (multiple) packages. If not specified `__object_id` is used.
-
-priority
-   The priority value to assign to matching packages. Deafults to 500. (To match the default target distro's priority)
-
-state
-   Will be passed to underlying `__file` type; see there for valid values and defaults.
-
-
-
-BOOLEAN PARAMETERS
-------------------
-None.
-
-
-EXAMPLES
---------
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
-   # Add the bullseye repo to buster, but do not install any packages by default,
-   # only if explicitely asked for (-1 means "never" for apt)
-    __apt_pin bullseye-default \
-       --package "*" \
-       --distribution bullseye \
-       --priority -1
-
-    require="__apt_pin/bullseye-default" __apt_source bullseye \
-       --uri http://deb.debian.org/debian/ \
-       --distribution bullseye \
-       --component main
-
-    __apt_pin foo --package "foo foo-*" --distribution bullseye
-
-    __foo # Assuming, this installs the `foo` package internally
-
-    __package foo-plugin-extras # Assuming we also need some extra stuff

 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
-By default type will try to use ``curl``, ``fetch`` or ``wget``.
+Destination (``$__object_id``) in target host must be persistent storage
+in order to calculate checksum and decide if file must be (re-)downloaded.
+
+By default type will try to use ``wget``, ``curl`` or ``fetch``.
 If download happens in target (see ``--download``) then type will
 fallback to (and install) ``wget``.
 
@@ -16,40 +19,23 @@ If download happens in local machine, then environment variables like
 ``{http,https,ftp}_proxy`` etc can be used on cdist execution
 (``http_proxy=foo cdist config ...``).
 
-To change downloaded file's owner, group or permissions, use ``require='__download/path/to/file' __file ...``.
-
 
 REQUIRED PARAMETERS
 -------------------
 url
    File's URL.
 
+sum
+   Checksum of file going to be downloaded.
+   By default output of ``cksum`` without filename is expected.
+   Other hash formats supported with prefixes: ``md5:``, ``sha1:`` and ``sha256:``.
+
 
 OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
 -------------------
-destination
-   Downloaded file's destination in target. If unset, ``$__object_id`` is used.
-
-sum
-   Supported formats: ``cksum`` output without file name, MD5, SHA1 and SHA256.
-
-   Type tries to detect hash format with regexes, but prefixes
-   ``cksum:``, ``md5:``, ``sha1:`` and ``sha256:`` are also supported.
-
-   Checksum have two purposes - state check and post-download verification.
-   In state check, if destination checksum mismatches, then content of URL
-   will be downloaded to temporary file. If downloaded temporary file's
-   checksum matches, then it will be moved to destination (overwritten).
-
-   For local downloads it is expected that usable utilities for checksum
-   calculation exist in the system.
-
 download
-   If ``local`` (default), then file is downloaded to local storage and copied
-   to target host. If ``remote``, then download happens in target.
-
-   For local downloads it is expected that usable utilities for downloading
-   exist in the system. Type will try to use ``curl``, ``fetch`` or ``wget``.

 NAME
 ----
-cdist-type__postgres_extension - Manage PostgreSQL extensions
+cdist-type__postgres_extension - manage postgres extensions
 
 
 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
-This cdist type allows you to manage PostgreSQL extensions.
+This cdist type allows you to create or drop postgres extensions.
 
-The ``__object_id`` to pass to ``__postgres_extension`` is of the form
-``dbname:extension``, e.g.:
+The object you need to pass to __postgres_extension consists of
+the database name and the extension name joined by a colon in the
+following form:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+    dbname:extension
+
+f.ex.
 
 .. code-block:: sh
 
     rails_test:unaccent
 
 
-**CAUTION!** Be careful when installing extensions from (untrusted) third-party
-sources:
-
-   | Installing an extension as superuser requires trusting that the extension's
-     author wrote the extension installation script in a secure fashion. It is
-     not terribly difficult for a malicious user to create trojan-horse objects
-     that will compromise later execution of a carelessly-written extension
-     script, allowing that user to acquire superuser privileges.
-   | – `<https://www.postgresql.org/docs/13/sql-createextension.html#id-1.9.3.64.7>`_

 NAME
 ----
-cdist-type__rsync - Mirror directories using ``rsync``
+cdist-type__rsync - Mirror directories using rsync
 
 
 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
-The purpose of this type is to bring power of ``rsync`` into ``cdist``.
+WARNING: This type is of BETA quality:
+
+- it has not been tested widely
+- interfaces *may* change
+- if there is a better approach to solve the problem -> the type may even vanish
+
+If you are fine with these constraints, please read on.
+
+
+This cdist type allows you to mirror local directories to the
+target host using rsync. Rsync will be installed in the manifest of the type.
+If group or owner are giveng, a recursive chown will be executed on the 
+target host.
+
+A slash will be appended to the source directory so that only the contents
+of the directory are taken and not the directory name itself.
 
 
 REQUIRED PARAMETERS
 -------------------
 source
-   Source directory in local machine.
-   If source is directory, slash (``/``) will be added to source and destination paths.
+    Where to take files from
 
 
 OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
 -------------------
-destination
-   Destination directory. Defaults to ``$__object_id``.
+group
+   Group to chgrp to.
 
 owner
-   Will be passed to ``rsync`` as ``--chown=OWNER``.
-   Read ``rsync(1)`` for more details.
+   User to chown to.
 
-group
-   Will be passed to ``rsync`` as ``--chown=:GROUP``.
-   Read ``rsync(1)`` for more details.
-
-mode
-   Will be passed to ``rsync`` as ``--chmod=MODE``.
-   Read ``rsync(1)`` for more details.
-
-options
-   Defaults to ``--recursive --links --perms --times``.
-   Due to `bug in Python's argparse<https://bugs.python.org/issue9334>`_, value must be prefixed with ``\``.
+destination
+    Use this as the base destination instead of the object id
 
 remote-user
-   Defaults to ``root``.
+    Use this user instead of the default "root" for rsync operations.
 
 
 OPTIONAL MULTIPLE PARAMETERS
 ----------------------------
-option
-   Pass additional options to ``rsync``.
-   See ``rsync(1)`` for all possible options.
-   Due to `bug in Python's argparse<https://bugs.python.org/issue9334>`_, value must be prefixed with ``\``.
+rsync-opts
+    Use this option to give rsync options with.
+    See rsync(1) for available options.
+    Only "--" options are supported.
+    Write the options without the beginning "--"
+    Can be specified multiple times.
+
+
+MESSAGES
+--------
+NONE
 
 
 EXAMPLES
 --------
+
 .. code-block:: sh
 
-    __rsync /var/www/example.com \
-        --owner root \
-        --group www-data \
-        --mode 'D750,F640' \
-        --source "$__files/example.com/www"
+    # You can use any source directory
+    __rsync /tmp/testdir \
+        --source /etc
+
+    # Use source from type
+    __rsync /etc \
+        --source "$__type/files/package"
