Dear ungleich,

I neglected cdist for a while, sorry :^(

I would like to introduce Clear Linux OS in cdist.
My motivation is to try a modern distribution for Cloud workload (firecracker and Cie.).

I would appreciate your feedback on the topic.

Best regards,
Romain.

It looks pretty sane to me, at a quick glance. How much did you use these changes?

Hi fnux :^)

TL;DR: I didn't use it much; just the few types I modified to setup a few clear-linux-os boxes.

Long story.

I though it (clear linux os) would be a good choice (modern, Cloud oriented, with a few other good points), and since I love cdist, I though it would be a good thing to make it work with it.
Unfortunately after using it a while, I found it does not fit my particular needs (-_-) and I'm still poking around to chose the next base operating system I'll use (for an OpenNebula setup, remotely like you).

Thanks for the details. I'll give it a try and merge it if everything goes smoothly - but only since it's a fairly small and contained change. I'd ideally have someone actively use it, as unused code will rote over time...

We decided (off-list discussion with Romain) not to merge Clear Linux support since Romain does not actively use it anymore - we'd rather avoid unused code to rot in upstream cdist. Anyone with interest in Clear Linux is invited to refresh/reopen this.
