-cdist-type__apt_pin(7)
-======================
-
-NAME
-----
-cdist-type__apt_pin - Manage apt pinning rules
-
-
-DESCRIPTION
------------
-Adds/removes/edits rules to pin some packages to a specific distribution. Useful if using multiple debian repositories at the same time. (Useful, if one wants to use a few specific packages from backports or perhaps Debain testing... or even sid.)
-
-
-REQUIRED PARAMETERS
--------------------
-distribution
-   Specifies what distribution the package should be pinned to. Accepts both codenames (buster/bullseye/sid) and suite names (stable/testing/...).
-
-
-OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
--------------------
-package
-   Package name, glob or regular expression to match (multiple) packages. If not specified `__object_id` is used.
-
-priority
-   The priority value to assign to matching packages. Defaults to 500. (To match the default target distro's priority)
-
-state
-   Will be passed to underlying `__file` type; see there for valid values and defaults.
-
-
-
-BOOLEAN PARAMETERS
-------------------
-None.
-
-
-EXAMPLES
---------
-
-.. code-block:: sh
-
-   # Add the bullseye repo to buster, but do not install any packages by default,
-   # only if explicitely asked for (-1 means "never" for apt)
-    __apt_pin bullseye-default \
-       --package "*" \
-       --distribution bullseye \
-       --priority -1
-
-    require="__apt_pin/bullseye-default" __apt_source bullseye \
-       --uri http://deb.debian.org/debian/ \
-       --distribution bullseye \
-       --component main
-
-    __apt_pin foo --package "foo foo-*" --distribution bullseye
-
-    __foo # Assuming, this installs the `foo` package internally
-
-    __package foo-plugin-extras # Assuming we also need some extra stuff

+On Debian and alike systems debconf-set-selections(1) can be used
 to setup configuration parameters.
 
 
 REQUIRED PARAMETERS
 -------------------
-cf. ``--line``.

-
-OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
--------------------
 file
-   Use the given filename as input for :strong:`debconf-set-selections`\ (1)
-   If filename is ``-``, read from stdin.
-
-   **This parameter is deprecated, because it doesn't work with state detection.**
-line
-   A line in :strong:`debconf-set-selections`\ (1) compatible format.
-   This parameter can be used multiple times to set multiple options.
-
-   (This parameter is actually required, but marked optional because the
-   deprecated ``--file`` is still accepted.)
-
-
-BOOLEAN PARAMETERS
-------------------
-None.
+   Use the given filename as input for debconf-set-selections(1)

-destination
-   Downloaded file's destination in target. If unset, ``$__object_id`` is used.
-
 sum
-   Supported formats: ``cksum`` output without file name, MD5, SHA1 and SHA256.

-   Checksum have two purposes - state check and post-download verification.
-   In state check, if destination checksum mismatches, then content of URL
-   will be downloaded to temporary file. If downloaded temporary file's

-cdist-type__haproxy_dualstack(7)
-================================
-
-
-NAME
-----
-cdist-type__haproxy_dualstack - Proxy services from a dual-stack server
-
-
-DESCRIPTION
------------
-This (singleton) type installs and configures haproxy to act as a dual-stack
-proxy for single-stack services.
-
-This can be useful to add IPv4 support to IPv6-only services while only using
-one IPv4 for many such services.
-
-By default this type uses the plain TCP proxy mode, which means that there is no
-need for TLS termination on this host when SNI is supported.
-This also means that proxied services will not receive the client's IP address,
-but will see the proxy's IP address instead (that of `$__target_host`).
-
-This can be solved by using the PROXY protocol, but do take into account that,
-e.g. nginx cannot serve both regular HTTP(S) and PROXY protocols on the same
-port, so you will need to use other ports for that.
-
-As a recommendation in this type: use TCP ports 8080 and 591 respectively to
-serve HTTP and HTTPS using the PROXY protocol.
-
-See the EXAMPLES for more details.
-
-
-OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
--------------------
-v4proxy
-    Proxy incoming IPv4 connections to the equivalent IPv6 endpoint.
-    In its simplest use, it must be a NAME with an `AAAA` DNS entry, which is
-    the IP address actually providing the proxied services.
-    The full format of this argument is:
-    `[proxy:]NAME[[:PROTOCOL_1=PORT_1]...[:PROTOCOL_N=PORT_N]]`
-    Where starting with `proxy:` determines that the PROXY protocol must be
-    used and each `:PROTOCOL=PORT` (e.g. `:http=8080` or `:https=591`) is a PORT
-    override for the given PROTOCOL (see `--protocol`), if not present the
-    PROTOCOL's default port will be used.
-
-
-v6proxy
-    Proxy incoming IPv6 connections to the equivalent IPv4 endpoint.
-    In its simplest use, it must be a NAME with an `A` DNS entry, which is
-    the IP address actually providing the proxied services.
-    See `--v4proxy` for more options and details.
-
-protocol
-    Can be passed multiple times or as a space-separated list of protocols.
-    Currently supported protocols are: `http`, `https`, `imaps`, `smtps`.
-    This defaults to: `http https imaps smtps`.
-
-
-EXAMPLES

-    # Proxy the IPv6-only HTTP(S) services so IPv4-only clients can access them
-    # Note this means that the backend IPv6-only server will only see

-    # Note however that the PROXY protocol is not compatible with regular

-    # with the PROXY settings.
-    # Note that you will need to restrict access to the 8080 port to prevent

-    # This can be something like:
-    # server {
-    #     # listen for regular HTTP connections
-    #     listen [::]:80 default_server;
-    #     listen 80 default_server;
-    #     # listen for PROXY HTTP connections
-    #     listen [::]:8080 proxy_protocol;
-    #     # Accept the Client's IP from the PROXY protocol

 apt-dist-upgrade

-    Allow installing new packages when used in conjunction with

-    requires new dependencies to be installed. Instead of holding the

 NAME
 ----
-cdist-type__rsync - Mirror directories using ``rsync``
+cdist-type__rsync - Mirror directories using rsync
 
 
 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
-The purpose of this type is to bring power of ``rsync`` into ``cdist``.
+WARNING: This type is of BETA quality:
+
+- it has not been tested widely
+- interfaces *may* change
+- if there is a better approach to solve the problem -> the type may even vanish
+
+If you are fine with these constraints, please read on.
+
+
+This cdist type allows you to mirror local directories to the
+target host using rsync. Rsync will be installed in the manifest of the type.
+If group or owner are giveng, a recursive chown will be executed on the 
+target host.
+
+A slash will be appended to the source directory so that only the contents
+of the directory are taken and not the directory name itself.
 
 
 REQUIRED PARAMETERS
 -------------------
 source
-   Source directory in local machine.
-   If source is directory, slash (``/``) will be added to source and destination paths.
+    Where to take files from
 
 
 OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
 -------------------
-destination
-   Destination directory. Defaults to ``$__object_id``.
+group
+   Group to chgrp to.
 
 owner
-   Will be passed to ``rsync`` as ``--chown=OWNER``.
-   Read ``rsync(1)`` for more details.
+   User to chown to.
 
-group
-   Will be passed to ``rsync`` as ``--chown=:GROUP``.
-   Read ``rsync(1)`` for more details.
-
-mode
-   Will be passed to ``rsync`` as ``--chmod=MODE``.
-   Read ``rsync(1)`` for more details.
-
-options
-   Defaults to ``--recursive --links --perms --times``.
-   Due to `bug in Python's argparse<https://bugs.python.org/issue9334>`_, value must be prefixed with ``\``.
+destination
+    Use this as the base destination instead of the object id
 
 remote-user
-   Defaults to ``root``.
+    Use this user instead of the default "root" for rsync operations.
 
 
 OPTIONAL MULTIPLE PARAMETERS
 ----------------------------
-option
-   Pass additional options to ``rsync``.
-   See ``rsync(1)`` for all possible options.
-   Due to `bug in Python's argparse<https://bugs.python.org/issue9334>`_, value must be prefixed with ``\``.
+rsync-opts
+    Use this option to give rsync options with.
+    See rsync(1) for available options.
+    Only "--" options are supported.
+    Write the options without the beginning "--"
+    Can be specified multiple times.
+
+
+MESSAGES
+--------
+NONE
 
 
 EXAMPLES
 --------
+
 .. code-block:: sh
 
-    __rsync /var/www/example.com \
-        --owner root \
-        --group www-data \
-        --mode 'D750,F640' \
-        --source "$__files/example.com/www"
+    # You can use any source directory
+    __rsync /tmp/testdir \
+        --source /etc
+
+    # Use source from type
+    __rsync /etc \
+        --source "$__type/files/package"
+
+    # Allow multiple __rsync objects to write to the same dir
+    __rsync mystuff \
+        --destination /usr/local/bin \
+        --source "$__type/files/package"
+
+    __rsync otherstuff \

+        --rsync-opts exclude=sshd_conf
+
+    # Use rsync with multiple options --exclude --dry-run
