provider layout:

		||||
   <name>/
 |

      config   # binary that is called to adjust cconfig tree

      change   # binary that is called on the remote host?

cdist view on providers:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
How providers are integrated/run:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   First stage:
 | 
			
		||||
   - If cdist encounters provider in manifest,
 | 
			
		||||
     a wrapper script is run, that creates a
 | 
			
		||||
     new entry in the cconfig database and adds
 | 
			
		||||
     attribute values:
 | 
			
		||||
     attribute values. This defines a cconfig
 | 
			
		||||
     tree, that may look as follows:
 | 
			
		||||
      
 | 
			
		||||
      conf/__file/cdist_bin/source
 | 
			
		||||
      conf/__file/cdist_bin/destination
 | 
			
		||||
      <hostname>/<provider>/<id>/<parameters>:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
      myhost/__file/cdist_bin/source
 | 
			
		||||
      myhost/__file/cdist_bin/destination
 | 
			
		||||
      ...
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   - In this stage, no conflicts may occur, as
 | 
			
		||||
     no provider code has been called (i.e. only
 | 
			
		||||
     manifests, which map config to hosts is
 | 
			
		||||
     applied).
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   Second stage:
 | 
			
		||||
   - The "manifest" script of every used provider
 | 
			
		||||
     (i.e. the manifests created at least one object)
 | 
			
		||||
     is called, which again is able to call other
 | 
			
		||||
     providers. All created objects may also be modified
 | 
			
		||||
     by the provider.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
     For instance a "httpd" provider may call the
 | 
			
		||||
     "webroot" provider with --path / ... 
 | 
			
		||||
     # FIND CASE WHERE SENSEFUL => look through
 | 
			
		||||
     current puppet config
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
   - The newly created objects are merged back into
 | 
			
		||||
     the existing tree. No conflicts may occur during
 | 
			
		||||
     the merge, because this would implicit that the
 | 
			
		||||
     provider conflicts with other providers.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
     The idea of this that a provider may expand another
 | 
			
		||||
     provider with functionality, but may need to adjust
 | 
			
		||||
     ("overwrite") settings from the original provider.
