On the server:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
conf/manifests/init
 | 
						|
   - the central entry point
 | 
						|
   - is a shell script
 | 
						|
   - defines mapping from types to hosts
 | 
						|
   -  will be called by cdist and the name
 | 
						|
      will be available for tracking in
 | 
						|
      cdist core functions
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
core/manifests/* (all other)
 | 
						|
   - same function as above
 | 
						|
   - but won't be called by cdist
 | 
						|
   - method to seperate configuration parts
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
conf/types/<name>/
 | 
						|
   - provide standard types
 | 
						|
   - have required and optional arguments
 | 
						|
   - are independent of hosts
 | 
						|
   - may make use of other types 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
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
lib/types/<name>/
 | 
						|
   - same as above, but provided by the cdist distribution
 | 
						|
   - if name exists in both, conf/ has priority
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Differences manifests vs. types
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
                     manifests               types
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
main purpose         map config to host      provide functionality
 | 
						|
can change config    no (prevent conflicts)  yes (allow inheritance)
 | 
						|
specificness         site specific           (globally) reusable
