-# cdist-contrib
+# cdist-extra
 
-This project extends the [cdist][cdist] configuration management
-tool with community-maitained types which are either too specific to fit/be
-maintained in cdist itself or were not accepted in code cdist but could still
-be useful.
+This is the [community maintained](https://github.com/cdist-community)
+fork of ungleich's [cdist](https://github.com/ungleich/cdist)
+(after [f061fb1](https://github.com/ungleich/cdist/commit/f061fb168ddacc894cb6e9882ff5c8ba002fadd8)).
 
-This project does not have releases and is continously updated: see git history
-for change log. You will find HTML documentation at
-[contrib.cdi.st](https://contrib.cdi.st).
+Work is split between three repositories:
 
-## Using cdist-contrib
+* [cdist](https://github.com/cdist-community/cdist) - implementation of the **cdist core**.
+* [cdist-conf](https://github.com/cdist-community/cdist-conf) - **essential** explorers and types.
+* **cdist-extra** - **non-essential** explorers, types, scripts, tools etc (this repository).
 
-We would recommend that you clone this repository next to your regular cdist
-config directory, then setup `conf_dir` with relative paths in
-[cdist configuration][cdistconfig].
+Difference between essential and non-essential? Explorers and types which are
+used to manage state of the operating system (modify files and directories,
+install packages, manage services, etc.) and are not strictly related to some
+specific piece of software are considered essential.
 
-An example of this would be:
+## Getting Started
 
-```ini
-# contents of cdist.cfg next to cdist-contrib
-[GLOBAL]
-# Notice that types defined in last dir win and can override native types.
-# Consider using a prefix for your own types to avoid collisions.
-conf_dir = cdist-contrib:cdist-private
-```
-
-And you would run [cdist][cdist] from the same directory as follows:
-
-    cdist config -g cdist.cfg
-    # Or setup your CDIST_CONFIG_FILE environment variable and run as usual

-## Contributing
-
-The preferred way to submit patches is by opening Merge Requests against the
-[cdist-contrib project on
-code.ungleich.ch](https://code.ungleich.ch/ungleich-public/cdist-contrib) (you
-can make an account on
-[account.ungleich.ch](https://account.ungleich.ch/).
-
-Every type in cdist-contrib must:
-
-  * Have a `man.rst` documentation page.
-  * Pass [shellcheck](http://shellcheck.net/) without errors.
-
-## Other resources

-Some people/organizations are known to keep some cdist types that might be of
-interest to others:

-* [cdist-recycledcloud](https://code.recycled.cloud/RecycledCloud/cdist-recycledcloud): e-Durable SA / Recycled Cloud public types
