@ -179,6 +179,14 @@ level tools like ruby installed. If a type requires specific tools to be present
on the target, there must be another type that provides this tool and the first
type should create an object of the specific type.
If your type wants to save temporay data, that may be used by other types
later on (for instance __file), you can save them in the subdirectory
"files" below $__object (but you must create it yourself). cdist will not touch
this directory.
If your type contains static files, it's also recommened to place them in
a folder named "files" within the type (again, because cdist guarantees to
never ever touch this folder).
