Hey hackers,
|
|
|
|
this README is for you, for those who want to dig into cdist, hack it or try
|
|
to get a deeper understanding.
|
|
|
|
A lot of documentation is still missing, but running cdist-quickstart should
|
|
give you an impression of how cdist works.
|
|
|
|
I hope you have a lot of fun with cdist, because it was also a lot of fun to
|
|
develop it!
|
|
|

## Conventions
|
|
|
|
- All variables exported by cdist are prefixed with a double underscore (__)
|
|
- All cdist-internal variables are prefixed with __cdist_ and are generally not exported.
|
|
|
|
## Running cdist when developing
|
|
|
|
This file is suitable for execution and saving the objects and
|
|
explorers from cdist. I usually do it like this:
|
|
|
|
% ./HACKERS_README
|
