On the server:
conf/MANIFEST
- the central entry point
- is a shell script
- defines mapping from modules or providers to hosts
- can call other MANIFESTs in modules
- will be called by $whatever and relative path
will be setup for source tracking:
conf/providers/<modname>/
- provide standard types
- may make use of other providers to realise a new type
- how to overwrite stuff?
- overwrite in own tree?
- needs knowledge of inherited provider
- similar to current situation in puppet,
but more like reusable defines
- or may implement some functionality on their own
conf/modules/<modname>/
- configuration put together
- needed additionally to providers?
- perhaps as singletons / objects of class?
