Description-en: Tool to distribute config files by fetching them
This project is aimed at automatically installing (and keeping
update) site specific config files on many hosts, after preprocessing
them (conditional content and include files and include sections).
.
It's installed on the client receiving the configuration files and
fetches them regularly via cron-jobs or on demand from the
commandline.
.
It also triggers postinstall scripts whenever their associated config
file has been changed. It can also remove config files, including
running an preremove script before doing so. All this is driven by an
simple config file list.
.
dphys-config is capable of reporting update failure or success to a
Xymon (formerly Hobbit) monitoring server.
.
dphys-config features an interactive mode and a non-interactive diff
mode to check what would be updated.
