How to write my own type named "coffee":
|
|
|
|
Create the directory /etc/cdist/types/coffee/
|
|
Create the file /etc/cdist/types/coffee/README containing a description of the
|
|
type.
|
|
If your type supports attributes, create the directory /etc/cdist/types/coffee/
|
|
attributes.
|
|
For each attribute, create the file
|
|
/etc/cdist/types/coffee/attributes/$attribute_name which contains
|
|
|
|
a short description on the first line
|
|
then a blank line
|
|
then a long description (probably over several lines)
|
|
|
|
If you think your type may be useful for others, submit it for inclusion
|
|
into cdist at cdist -- at -- l.schottelius.org.
|
|
|
|
Create /etc/cdist/types/coffee/init which reads $configinput
|
|
(either via cconfig or via environment) and outputs a block of
|
|
shell code suitable for running on the client.
