This document defines how to continue work on cdist:
x Define how to get information from clients
x Create shell script that creates code to run on client (cdist-build-explorer)
x Create configuration tree from manifest
x write binaries, which create the tree when called from manifest (cdist_tree_wrapper)
x Define configuration paths (doc/internal/config-layout)
x Redo explorers (see manpage)
/ Write at least one type
- Parse configuration tree/objects recursively
- can/may types modify tree?
- may open door for getting information from manifest / other stuff
- generate code to be executed on client
- check return codes
- abort on first error?
- doc 1.0:
- cdist manpage (main manpage)
- cleanup following man + their tree:
- cdist-language [IMPORTANT]
- cdist-design.text [IMPORTANT]
- cdist-push-pull
- cdist-quickstart
- how to write a minimal host manifest
- cdist-types [IMPORTANT]
- only do necessary work [TYPE IMPLEMENTATION HINTS]
- install packages only if not existent
- copy file only if different
- cdist [IMPORTANT]
- cdist-explorers
- add terminology
- define steps within configuration apply
- detect impossible/unsafe things:
- creating a file twice
- installing and removing a package
- and report location of occurence
- parse afterwards?
- multi master setups
- templating
- how to define templates
- variable substitution from shell may be problematic
- SHELL SCRIPTS! (executables? do not support?)
- stdout == output of template == what will be used
- cleanup website
- remove HACKERS_README
- create doc/dev/HACKERS_README
- Add install target to Makefile
- create cdist-config-init to create basic tree
- types needed
- file (with directory)
- package
- Cleanup directories, cleanly document, what's possible
