cdist view on providers:
How providers are integrated/run:
- If cdist encounters provider in manifest,
a wrapper script is run, that creates a
new entry in the cconfig database and adds
attribute values:
conf/__file/cdist_bin/source
conf/__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).
