* User defines configuration in shell scripts (called ***manifests***)
* Cdist generates internal configuration (cconfig style) and afterwards applies configuration
### Features
Stuff that should probably be included in every configuration management,
but is not. Or: The reason why I began to write cdist.
* Speed
* Elegant code
* Clean design
* Good documentation (man pages)
* Meaningful error messages
* No surprise factor
* Consistency in behaviour, naming and documentation
* Easy integration nacked installations
## Requirements

- probably name them only_once and use that as the internal id!
- extend cdist_tree_wrapper to look for optional/mandority parameters for types

previous runs may still be existing!

What do I miss from puppet?
- speed
- elegance
- clean design
- documentation
- the "no surprise" factor
- easy to use "data memory" (i.e. external ressources)
- easy integration into installation process
- copy identity to master
- multi master setups
- development configurations / tests
- editing of configuration files
- similar to cfengine
- replace bug squasher with bug avoidance
- qmail did not need one either
- push infrastructure
- real / meaningful error messages
