STAGE 3: EXECUTION OF TYPES
---------------------------
Every object is checked whether its type has an init
script (see cdist-types(7)). If the type of the object
has an init script, it is run. This init script may
generate additional objects.
Every object is checked whether its type has an init
script (see cdist-types(7)). If the type of the object
has an init script, it is run. This init script may
generate additional objects.
For instance the object __apache/www.test.ch is of
type __apache, which may contain an init script, which
creates new objects of type __file.

creates new objects of type __file.
The newly created objects are merged back into
the existing tree. No conflicts may occur during
the merge. A conflict would mean that two different
objects try to create the same object, which indicates a
broken configuration.

STAGE 4: CODE GENERATION
------------------------
The "gencode" binary of the types for every existing object is
called to generate code that will be executed on the target host.

If the gencode binary fails, it must print diagnostic messages on stderr

STAGE 5: CODE EXECUTION
-----------------------
The resulting code is transferred to the target host and executed,
the run of cdist-deploy-to(1) ends.
