When starting with cdist, the documentation and examples can be
overwheliming. Further more, sometimes one would only want to do a
simple test to see if the basics are working. One such example currently
is to create a simple remote file. While this is a nice and simple
example, an even simpler example would be to just see if we can 'ping'
the host.
Other configuration management tools also seem to have this as a basic
starting command.
This thus allows to do:
echo __ping | cdist config --initial-manifest - <host>
as the most basic, most simple command to 'test' things with, without
having lingering files to boot.

The command `echo -- -g` prints `-- -g` so the generated `groupadd` command
was syntactically incorrect and failing. Solution was to remove `--` since
echo command does not understand it, and add instead an extra space before
`-g` to avoid echo interpreting it as a flag.
* [type/__timezone] Whitelist OpenBSD
OpenBSD ships /etc/localtime and /usr/share/zoneinfo by default.
* [type/__postgres_{database,role}] Add explorer support for OpenBSD
On OpenBSD the "postgres" user is called "_postgresql".
The "postgres" database must me specifically specified as it differs from the
user name.
* [type/__postgres_{database,role}] Add gencode support for OpenBSD
On OpenBSD the "postgres" user is called "_postgresql".
The "postgres" database must me specifically specified when using psql as it
differs from the user name.
* [type/__postgres_role] Query DB if role exists instead of screen scaping
* [type/__postgres_database] Query DB if database exists instead
* [type/__postgres_{database,role}] Add user for NetBSD
* [type/__postgres_extension] Add support for OpenBSD and NetBSD
* [__ssh_authorized_key] Add OpenBSD support to entry explorer
Make sure to adhere to re_format(7) for OpenBSD compatibility.

* [type/__start_on_boot] Add support for OpenBSD
For some reason, the echo|grep pattern was enclosed four times in a $()
operation. Nothing happened, since grep is always invoked with -q
(quiet, nothing printed to stdout).
In the original order, stderr was connected to the old stdout
(terminal). This was _probably_ not intended. The new order fixes this
by first connecting stdout to /dev/null and then attaching stderr to
that as well.
instead of calling the copy command once per file in a directory (eg a
type explorer dir), call the copy command only once with all files of
the directory.
batch copy saves 20% of dry-run time on my test manifest in sequential
mode, and 15% in parallel mode.
Remote::transfer contains a call to mkdir(destination) if the source is
a directory. since the destination must also be a directory we can omit
extra mkdir calls in Explorer.
this saves about 10% on my manifests in sequential mode, and about 6% in
parallel mode.
- Update installation method, following official installation
instructions.
- docker-engine was renamed to Docker CE around March 2017. Update
manpage to reflect that change.
- Remove flag `--experimental` since it is no longer necessary to install a
different binary to get experimental features. Experimental features are
included in the stable binary and can be enabled by a flag or in a
config file.
