* Read how to [[install or update cdist|install-update]]
The cdist documentation is included as manpages in the distribution.

## Requirements
### Server
* A posix like shell
* Python (>= 3.2 required)
* SSH client
* Asciidoc (for building the manpages)
### Client ("target host")
* A posix like shell
* SSH server
## Installation
### Preparation
Ensure you have Python 3.2 installed on the machine you use to **deploy to the targets**
(the ***source host***).
#### Archlinux
Archlinux already has python >= 3.2, so you only need to do:
pacman -S python
#### CentOS
See the "From source" section
#### Debian
For Debian >= wheezy:
aptitude install python3
On squeeze you can add following line in **/etc/apt/sources.list**
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy main
And add pinning entry in **/etc/apt/preferences.d/wheezy**:
Package: *
Pin: release n=wheezy
Pin-Priority: 1
Please be aware that both **openssh-server** and **openssh-client** might be
removed on **python3.2** installation. You surely want to reinstall them:
apt-get install -t wheezy openssh-server openssh-client
For older Debian versions, installing python 3.2 manually is required.
#### Fedora
For Fedora >= 15:
yum install python3
#### FreeBSD
For the port:
cd /usr/ports/lang/python32/ && make install clean
For the package:
pkg_add -r python32
#### Gentoo
Gentoo only provides python 3.2 in testing packages (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=3&chap=3).
If you want to ensure nothing breaks you must set back the python version to what was default before.
emerge -av =python-3.2.2 --autounmask-write
emerge -av =python-3.2.2
eselect python list
eselect python list set python3.2
#### Max OS X
You can choose between Homebrew and Macports, either way works:
[Homebrew](http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/) variant:
brew install python3
[Macports](http://www.macports.org/install.php) variant:
port install python32
ln -s /opt/local/bin/python3.2 /opt/local/bin/python3
#### From Source
For those operating systems not yet support Python 3.2:
pyversion=3.2.3
wget http://www.python.org/ftp/python/$pyversion/Python-${pyversion}.tar.bz2
tar xvfj Python-${pyversion}.tar.bz2
cd Python-${pyversion}
./configure
make
sudo make install
This installs python 3.2 to /usr/local/bin. Ensure this directory is in
your PATH environment variable.
### Get cdist
You can clone cdist from git, which gives you the advantage of having
a version control in place for development of your own stuff as well.
To install cdist, execute the following commands:
git clone git://git.schottelius.org/cdist
cd cdist
export PATH=$PATH:$(pwd -P)/bin
# If you want the manpages
./build man
export MANPATH=$MANPATH:$(pwd -P)/doc/man
### Available versions
There are at least the following branches available:
* Development: master
* 2.0: Python rewrite of cdist core [stable branch]
Old versions:
* 1.7: Bugfixes, cleanups, new type and explorer rename
* 1.6: New types, cleaned up \_\_package* types, internal cleanup
* 1.5: Focus on object orientation instead of global stage orientation
* 1.4: Support for redefiniton of objects (if equal)
* 1.3: Support for local and remote code execution (current stable)
* 1.2: Dependencies supported
* 1.1: \_\_file to \_\_file, \_\_directory, \_\_link migration
* 1.0: First official release
Other branches may be available for features or bugfixes, but they
may vanish at any point. To select a specific branch use
# Generic code
git checkout -b <name> origin/<name>
# Stay on a specific version
version=2.0
git checkout -b $version origin/$version
### Mirrors
* git://github.com/telmich/cdist.git ([github](https://github.com/telmich/cdist))
* git://git.code.sf.net/p/cdist/code ([sourceforge](https://sourceforge.net/p/cdist/code))
## Update
To upgrade cdist in the current branch use
git pull
# Also update the manpages
./build man
export MANPATH=$MANPATH:$(pwd -P)/doc/man
If you stay on a version branche (i.e. 1.0, 1.1., ...), nothing should break.
The master branch on the other hand is the development branch and may not be
working, break your setup or eat the tree in your garden.
### Upgrading from 1.7 to 2.0
* Ensure python (>= 3.2) is installed on the server
* Use "cdist config host" instead of "cdist-deploy-to host"
* Use "cdist config -p host1 host2" instead of "cdist-mass-deploy"
* Use "cdist banner" for fun
* Use **\_\_object_fq** instead of **\_\_self** in manifests
### Upgrading from 1.6 to 1.7
* If you used the global explorer **hardware_type**, you need to change
your code to use **machine** instead.
### Upgrading from 1.5 to 1.6
* If you used **\_\_package_apt --preseed**, you need to use the new
type **\_\_debconf_set_selections** instead.
* The **\_\_package** types accepted either --state deinstalled or
--state uninstaaled. Starting with 1.6, it was made consistently
to --state removed.
### Upgrading from 1.3 to 1.5
No incompatiblities.
### Upgrading from 1.2 to 1.3
Rename **gencode** of every type to **gencode-remote**.
### Upgrading from 1.1 to 1.2
No incompatiblities.
### Upgrading from 1.0 to 1.1
In 1.1 the type **\_\_file** was split into **\_\_directory**, **\_\_file** and
**\_\_link**. The parameter **--type** was removed from **\_\_file**. Thus you
need to replace **\_\_file** calls in your manifests:
* Remove --type from all \_\_file calls
* If type was symlink, use \_\_link and --type symbolic
* If type was directory, use \_\_directory
