Version control is not mandatory but very prudent. It allows one to track the changes of the policy over time. As the policy grows to encompass may services and hosts this can become very useful. Additionally version control allows multiple people to write Cfengine policies without overwriting each other's work. In small examples the 'body' parts can seem redundant. However as policy grows body parts reduce a lot of duplication. In Cfengine scope means that variables are assumed to be local to a bundle. If you wish to refer to a variable from another bundle you must use the bundle's name as a prefix. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list [email protected] https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
