I invite you to a tour of pointers to
get into the usable configuration mangament system, cdist.</p><p>The first thing to know is probably that cdist is brought to
you by people who care about how code looks like and who think
twice before merging or implementing a feature: Less features
with good usability are far better than the opposite.</p></div><div class="section" title="3. UNDERSTANDING CDIST INTERNALS"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="_understanding_cdist_internals"></a>3. UNDERSTANDING CDIST INTERNALS</h2></div></div></div><p>IF you are interested in how cdist internally works, you can open
bin/cdist-config and bin/cdist-deploy-to in your favorite editor and
read the scripts bin/cdist-deploy-to calls. The magnificent HACKERS_README
may be of great help as well.</p></div><div class="section" title="4. CODING CONVENTIONS (CORE)"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="_coding_conventions_core"></a>4. CODING CONVENTIONS (CORE)</h2></div></div></div><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem">

everybody using cdist, youre welcome to propose inclusion into upstream.</p><p>There are though some requirements to ensure your changes dont break others
work nor kill the authors brain:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem">
Code submission must be done via git
</li><li class="listitem">
Code to be included should be branched of the upstream "master" branch
</li><li class="listitem">
Exception: Bugfixes to a version branch
</li><li class="listitem">
Code submissions must be in your master branch
</li><li class="listitem">
Exception: If you only want a comment on your code, but not an inclusion.
</li><li class="listitem">
Do not add conf/manifest/init - This file should only be touched in your
private branch!
</li></ul></div><p>As soon as your work meets these requirements, you can contact me
(IRC, Mailinglist, Phone, RFC 1149) and Ill check your code before
including it.</p></div><div class="section" title="6. HOW TO SUBMIT A NEW TYPE"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="_how_to_submit_a_new_type"></a>6. HOW TO SUBMIT A NEW TYPE</h2></div></div></div><p>Submitting a type works as described above, with the additional requirement
that a corresponding manpage named man.text in asciidoc format with
the manpage-name "cdist-type__NAME" is included in the type directory
AND asciidoc is able to compile it.</p></div><div class="section" title="7. SEE ALSO"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="_see_also"></a>7. SEE ALSO</h2></div></div></div><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem">
