DESCRIPTION
 | 
			
		||||
-----------
 | 
			
		||||
Starting the execution of deployment with cdist-deploy-to(1), cdist passes
 | 
			
		||||
through different stages, each can be triggered and debugged on its own.
 | 
			
		||||
Reading the source of the cdist-deploy-to executable shows the scripts 
 | 
			
		||||
responsible for each stage.

		||||
 | 
			
		||||
STAGE 0: INTERNAL PREPERATION
 | 
			
		||||
-----------------------------
 | 
			
		||||
Before running the user facing stages, cdist prepares the target host
 | 
			
		||||
to contain cdist binaries and creates a clean environment for the
 | 
			
		||||
configuration run.

Every object is checked whether its type has explorers and if so, these are

SUMMARY
 | 
			
		||||
-------
 |

If, and only if, all the stages complete without an errors, the configuration

will be applied to the target. Each stage can also be run individually, though
 | 
			
		||||
dependencies for each stage must be fulfilled and thus the stages must be run
