Cdist will use all available configuration directories and create
|
||
a temporary confdir containing links to the real configuration directories.
|
||
This way it is possible to merge configuration directories.
|

By default it consists of everything in $HOME/.cdist and cdist/conf/.

For more details see cdist(1)

This is the central entry point.

It is an executable (+x bit set) shell script that can use

values from the explorers to decide which configuration to create

for the specified target host.

Its intent is to used to define mapping from configurations to hosts.

All other files in this directory are not directly used by cdist, but you

can seperate configuration mappings, if you have a lot of code in the

conf/manifest/init file. This may also be helpful to have different admins

maintain different groups of hosts.
