-But cdist ticks differently, here is the feature set that makes it unique:
-
-[[!table data="""
-Keywords | Description
-Simplicity | There is only one type to extend cdist called ***type***
-Design | Type and core cleanly separated
-Design | Sticks completly to the KISS (keep it simple and stupid) paradigma
-Design | Meaningful error messages - do not lose time debugging error messages
-Design | Consistency in behaviour, naming and documentation
-Design | No surprise factor: Only do what is obviously clear, no magic
-Design | Define target state, do not focus on methods or scripts
-Design | Push architecture: Instantly apply your changes
-Small core | cdist's core is very small - less code, less bugs
-Fast development | Focus on straightforwardness of type creation is a main development objective
-Fast development | Batteries included: A lot of requirements can be solved using standard types
-Modern Programming Language | cdist is written in Python
-Requirements, Scalability | No central server needed, cdist operates in push mode and can be run from any computer
-Requirements, Scalability, Upgrade | cdist only needs to be updated on the master, not on the target hosts
-Requirements, Security | Uses well-know [SSH](http://www.openssh.com/) as transport protocol
-Requirements, Simplicity | Requires only shell and SSH server on the target
-UNIX | Reuse of existing tools like cat, find, mv, ...
-UNIX, familar environment, documentation | Is available as manpages and HTML

-[[!toc levels=3]]
-
-## Requirements
-
-### Source Host
-
-This is the machine you use to configure the target hosts.
-
- * /bin/sh: A posix like shell (for instance bash, dash, zsh)
- * Python >= 3.2
- * SSH client
- * Asciidoc and xsltproc (for building the manpages)
-
-### Target Hosts
-
- * /bin/sh: A posix like shell (for instance bash, dash, zsh)
- * SSH server
-
-## Install cdist
-
-You can install cdist either from git or as a python package.
-
-### From git
-
-Cloning cdist from git gives you the advantage of having
-a version control in place for development of your own stuff
-immediately.
-
-To install cdist, execute the following commands:
-
- git clone https://github.com/ungleich/cdist.git
- cd cdist
- export PATH=$PATH:$(pwd -P)/bin
-
-From version 4.2.0 cdist tags and github releases are signed.
-You can get GPG public key used for signing [here](/software/cdist/pgp-key-EFD2AE4EC36B6901.asc).
-
-#### Available versions in git
-
- * The active development takes place in the **master** branch
- * The current stable version can be found in the **2.0** branch
- * The upcoming stable version can be found in the **2.1** branch
-
-Other branches may be available for features or bugfixes, but they
-may vanish at any point. To select a specific branch use
-
- # Generic code
- git checkout -b origin/
-
-So for instance if you want to use and stay with version 2.0, you can use
-
- git checkout -b 2.0 origin/2.0
-
-#### Git Mirrors
-
-If the main site is down, you can acquire cdist from one of the following sites:
-
- * git://github.com/telmich/cdist.git ([github](https://github.com/telmich/cdist))
- * git://git.code.sf.net/p/cdist/code ([sourceforge](https://sourceforge.net/p/cdist/code))
-
-#### Building and using documentation (man and html)
-
-If you want to build and use the documentation, run:
-
- make docs
-
-Documentation comes in two formats, man pages and full HTML
-documentation. Documentation is built into distribution's
-docs/dist directory. man pages are in docs/dist/man and
-HTML documentation in docs/dist/html.
-
-If you want to use man pages, run:
-
- export MANPATH=$MANPATH:$(pwd -P)/docs/dist/man
-
-Or you can move manpages from docs/dist/man directory to some
-other directory and add it to MANPATH.
-
-Full HTML documentation can be accessed at docs/dist/html/index.html.
-
-You can also build manpages for types in your ~/.cdist directory:
-
- make dotman
-
-Built manpages are now in docs/dist/man directory. If you have
-some other custom .cdist directory, e.g. /opt/cdist then use:
-
- DOT_CDIST_PATH=/opt/cdist make dotman
-
-
-### Python Package
-
-Cdist is available as a python package at
-[PyPi](http://pypi.python.org/pypi/cdist/). You can install it using
-
- pip install cdist
-

-## Update The Git Installation
-
-To upgrade cdist in the current branch use
-
- git pull
-
- # Also update the manpages
- ./build man
- export MANPATH=$MANPATH:$(pwd -P)/doc/man
-
-If you stay on a version branche (i.e. 1.0, 1.1., ...), nothing should break.
-The master branch on the other hand is the development branch and may not be
-working, break your setup or eat the tree in your garden.
-
-### Safely upgrading to new versions
-
-To upgrade to **any** further cdist version, you can take the
-following procedure to do a safe upgrade:
-
- # Create new branch to try out the update
- git checkout -b upgrade_cdist
-
- # Get latest cdist version in git database
- git fetch -v
-
- # see what will happen on merge - replace
- # master with the branch you plan to merge
- git diff upgrade_cdist..origin/master
-
- # Merge the new version
- git merge origin/master
-
-Now you can ensure all custom types work with the new version.
-Assume that you need to go back to an older version during
-the migration/update, you can do so as follows:
-
- # commit changes
- git commit -m ...
-
- # go back to original branch
- git checkout master
-
-After that, you can go back and continue the upgrade:
-
- # git checkout upgrade_cdist
-
-
-## Update The Python Package
-
-To upgrade to the lastet version do
-
- pip install --upgrade cdist
-
-## General Update Instructions
-
-### Updating from 3.0 to 3.1
-
-The type **\_\_ssh_authorized_keys** now also manages existing keys,
-not only the ones added by cdist.
-
-### Updating from 2.3 to 3.0
-
-The **changed** attribute of objects has been removed.
-Use [messaging](/software/cdist/man/3.0.0/man7/cdist-messaging.html) instead.
-
-### Updating from 2.2 to 2.3
-
-No incompatibilities.
-
-### Updating from 2.1 to 2.2
-
-Starting with 2.2, the syntax for requiring a singleton type changed:
-Old format:
-
- require="__singleton_type/singleton" ...
-
-New format:
-
- require="__singleton_type" ...
-
-Internally the "singleton" object id was dropped to make life more easy.
-You can probably fix your configuration by running the following code
-snippet (currently untested, please report back if it works for you):
-
- find ~/.cdist/* -type f -exec sed -i 's,/singleton,,' {} \;
-
-### Updating from 2.0 to 2.1
-
-Have a look at the update guide for [[2.0 to 2.1|2.0-to-2.1]].
-
- * Type **\_\_package* and \_\_process** use --state **present** or **absent**.
- The states **removed/installed** and **stopped/running** have been removed.
- Support for the new states is already present in 2.0.
- * Type **\_\_directory**: Parameter --parents and --recursive are now boolean
- The old "yes/no" values need to be removed.
- * Type **\_\_rvm_ruby**: Parameter --default is now boolean
- The old "yes/no" values need to be removed.
- * Type **\_\_rvm_gemset**: Parameter --default is now boolean
- The old "yes/no" values need to be removed.
- * Type **\_\_addifnosuchline** and **\_\_removeline** have been replaced by **\_\_line**
- * The **conf** directory is now located at **cdist/conf**.
- You need to migrate your types, explorers and manifests
- manually to the new location.
- * Replace the variable **\_\_self** by **\_\_object_name**
- Support for the variable **\_\_object_name** is already present in 2.0.
- * The types **\_\_autofs**, **\_\_autofs_map** and **\_\_autofs_reload** have been removed
- (no maintainer, no users)
- * Type **\_\_user**: Parameter --groups removed (use the new \_\_user_groups type)
- * Type **\_\_ssh_authorized_key** has been replaced by more flexible type
- **\_\_ssh_authorized_keys**
-
-### Updating from 1.7 to 2.0
-
-* Ensure python (>= 3.2) is installed on the source host
-* Use "cdist config host" instead of "cdist-deploy-to host"
-* Use "cdist config -p host1 host2" instead of "cdist-mass-deploy"
-* Use "cdist banner" for fun
-* Use **\_\_object_name** instead of **\_\_self** in manifests
-
-### Updating from 1.6 to 1.7
-
-* If you used the global explorer **hardware_type**, you need to change
- your code to use **machine** instead.
-
-### Updating from 1.5 to 1.6
-
-* If you used **\_\_package_apt --preseed**, you need to use the new
- type **\_\_debconf_set_selections** instead.
-* The **\_\_package** types accepted either --state deinstalled or
- --state uninstaaled. Starting with 1.6, it was made consistently
- to --state removed.
-
-### Updating from 1.3 to 1.5
-
-No incompatibilities.
-
-### Updating from 1.2 to 1.3
-
-Rename **gencode** of every type to **gencode-remote**.
-
-### Updating from 1.1 to 1.2
-
-No incompatibilities.
-
-### Updating from 1.0 to 1.1
-
-In 1.1 the type **\_\_file** was split into **\_\_directory**, **\_\_file** and
-**\_\_link**. The parameter **--type** was removed from **\_\_file**. Thus you
-need to replace **\_\_file** calls in your manifests:
-
- * Remove --type from all \_\_file calls
- * If type was symlink, use \_\_link and --type symbolic
- * If type was directory, use \_\_directory

-
-## Introduction
-
-When changing your installation from 2.0 to 2.1, there are
-a lot of changes coming up. 2.1 is mainly a cleanup release,
-which removes long time deprecated behaviour, but also makes
-a lot of things more consistent and allows you to split off your types,
-explorers and manifest to custom directories.
-
-This document will guide you to a successful update.
-
-## Preparation
-
-As for every software and system you use in production, you should first of
-all make a backup of your data. To prevent any breakage, it is
-recommended to create a new git branch to do the update on:
-
- % git checkout -b update_to_2.1
-
-This also ensure that whenever you need to do a change in your
-2.0 based tree, you can simply go back to that branch, apply the change
-and configure your systems - independently of your update progress!
-
-Next fetch the latest upstream changes, I assume that
-origin refers to one of the upstream mirrors (change origin if you use
-another remote name for upstream cdist):
-
- % git fetch -v origin
-
-## Merge the changes
-
-Now try to merge upstream into the new branch.
-
- % git merge origin/2.1
-
-Fix any conflicts that may have been occurred due to local changes
-and then **git add** and *git commit** those changes. This should seldom
-occur and if, it's mostly for people hacking on the cdist core.
-
-## Move "conf" directory
-
-One of the biggest changes in cdist 2.1 is that you can have multiple
-**conf** directories: Indeed, the new default behaviour of cdist is to
-search for conf directories
-
- * below the python module (cdist/conf in the source tree or in the installed location)
- * at ~/.cdist/ (on conf suffix there)
-
-So you can now choose, where to store your types.
-
-### Integrate your conf/ back into the tree
-
-If you choose to store your types together with the upstream types,
-you can just move all your stuff below **cdist/conf**:
-
- % git mv conf/type/* cdist/conf/type
- % git mv conf/manifest/* cdist/conf/manifest
- % git mv conf/explorer/* cdist/conf/explorer
- % git commit -m "Re-Integrate my conf directory into cdist 2.1 tree"
-
-### Move your conf/ directory to ~/.cdist
-
-If you want to store your site specific
-configuration outside of the cdist tree, you
-can move your conf/ directory to your homedirectory ($HOME) under ~/.cdist:
-
- % mv conf ~/.cdist
- % git rm -r conf
- % git commit -m "Move my conf directory to ~/.cdist"
-
-It it still recommended to use a version control system like git in it:
-
- % cd ~/.cdist
- % git init
- % git add .
- % git commit -m "Create new git repository containing my cdist configuration"
-
-## Test the migration
-
-Some of the types shipped with upstream were changed, so you may want to test
-the result by running cdist on one of your staging target hosts:
-
- % ./bin/cdist config -v staging-host
-
-All incompatibilities are listed on the [[cdist update page|software/cdist/update]],
-so you can browse through the list and update your configuration.
-
-## Final Cleanups
-
-When everything is tested, there are some cleanups to be done to finalise the update.
-
-### When continuing to keep conf/ in the tree
-
-You can then merge back your changes into the master tree and continue to work
-as normal.
-
-### When using ~/.cdist
-
-If you decided to move your site specific code to ~/.cdist, you can now switch your
-**master** branch or version branch to upstream directly. Assumnig you are in the
-cdist directory, having your previous branch checked out, you can create a clean
-state using the following commands:
-
- % upstream_branch=2.1
- % current_branch=$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)
- % git checkout -b archive_my_own_tree
- % git branch -D "$current_branch"
- % git checkout -b "$current_branch" "origin/$upstream_branch"
-
-Afther these commands, your previous main branch is accessible at
-**archive_my_own_tree** and your branch is now tracking upstream.

-[[!meta title="Why should I use cdist?"]]
-
-[[!toc]]
-
-There are several motivations to use cdist, these
-are probably the most popular ones.
-
-## Known language
-
-Cdist is being configured in
-[shell script](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_script).
-Shell script is used by UNIX system engineers for decades.
-So when cdist is introduced, your staff does not need to learn a new
-[DSL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain-specific_language)
-or programming language.
-
-## Powerful language
-
-Not only is shell scripting widely known by system engineers,
-but it is also a very powerful language. Here are some features
-which make daily work easy:
-
- * Configuration can react dynamicly on explored values
- * High level string manipulation (using sed, awk, grep)
- * Conditional support (**if, case**)
- * Loop support (**for, while**)
- * Support for dependencies between cdist types
-
-## More than shell scripting
-
-If you compare regular shell scripting with cdist, there is one major
-difference: When using cdist types,
-the results are
-[idempotent](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idempotence).
-In practise that means it does not matter in which order you
-call cdist types, the result is always the same.
-
-## Zero dependency configuration management
-
-Cdist requires very litte on a target system. Even better,
-in almost all cases all dependencies are usually fulfilled.
-Cdist does not require an agent or a high level programming
-languages on the target host: it will run on any host that
-has a **ssh server running** and a posix compatible shell
-(**/bin/sh**). Compared to other configuration management systems,
-it does not require to open up an additional port.
-
-## Push based distribution
-
-Cdist uses the push based model for configuration. In this
-scenario, one (or more) computers connect the target hosts
-and apply the configuration. That way the source host has
-very little requirements: Cdist can even run on a sysadmin
-notebook that is loosely connected to the network and has
-limited amount of resources.
-
-Furthermore, from a security point of view, only one machine
-needs access to the target hosts. No target hosts will ever
-need to connect back to the source host, which contains the
-full configuration.
-
-## Highly scalable
-
-If at some point you manage more hosts than can be handled from
-a single source host, you can simply add more resources: Either
-add more cores to one host or add hosts.
-Cdist will utilise the given resources in parallel.
