Description:
Type that supports transfer of huge data, which is a general problem in
configuration management systems.
Good solution using standardised rsync approach.
Problem:
Uses root@$__target_host:$destination notation for transfer.
This breaks the concept of being able to replace __remote_exec and
__remote_copy and then doing chroot or different stuff.
This breaks for instance, if __remote_copy = cp and the destination is
a local chroot.
Solutions:
- Have cdist provide support for rsync syntax?
- Integrate __rsyncer more in line with philosohpy of other components
- Think about the general way of __rsyncer and what cdist would need
to provide for general solution.
