HOW TO SUBMIT A NEW TYPE ------------------------ +For detailled information about types, see cdist-type(7). + 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 (i.e. do NOT have to many "=" in the second line). +Warning: Submitting "exec" or "run" types that simply echo their parameter in +gencode* will not be accepted, because they are of no use. Every type can output +code and thus such a type introduces redundant functionality that is given by +core cdist already. + SEE ALSO --------
