|
||
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.

REPORTING BUGS</h2></div></div></div><p>If you believe you’ve found a bug and verified that it is
|

in the latest version, drop a mail to the cdist mailing list,
|

subject prefixed with "[BUG] ".</p></div><div class="section" title="4. UNDERSTANDING CDIST INTERNALS"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a id="_understanding_cdist_internals"></a>4.

|
||
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="5.

everybody using cdist, you’re welcome to propose inclusion into upstream.</p><p>There are though some requirements to ensure your changes don’t 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

private branch!

Other branches are fine as well, but you need to tell me which branch

your work is in!

</li><li class="listitem">

If you developed more than <span class="strong"><strong>one</strong></span> feature, consider submitting them in

seperate branches. This way one feature can already be included, even if

the other needs to be improved.

(IRC, Mailinglist, Phone, RFC 1149) and I’ll check your code before

including it.</p></div><div class="section" title="8. 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>8.
