README

cat << eof

Hey hackers,

this README is for you, for those who want to dig into cdist, hack it or try
to get a deeper understanding.

A lot of documentation is still missing, but running cdist-quickstart should
give you an impression of how cdist works.

I hope you have a lot of fun with cdist, because it was also a lot of fun to
develop it!

-- Nico, 20110304


## Conventions

- All variables exported by cdist are prefixed with a double underscore (__)
- All cdist-internal variables are prefixed with __cdist_ and are generally not exported.

## Running cdist when developing

This file is suitable for execution and saving the objects and
explorers from cdist. I usually do it like this:

% ./HACKERS_README

################################################################################
eof

set -x
# Tell the user what we do, so this script makes sense during execution

# prepare use (only from top level directory)
export PATH="$PATH:$(pwd -P)/bin"
export __cdist_conf_dir="$(pwd -P)/conf"

# Allow user to supply hostname
target="${1:-localhost}"

# And use hostname as basedir (dangerous, but hackers know what they do)
export __cdist_local_base_dir="/tmp/$target"

# Run the real script
cdist-deploy-to "$target"

# Display results
find "${__cdist_local_base_dir}"
