>> Cool! Cooker finally has an Augeas package in main!

>> The issue with the rpm+augeas embedding is that augeas

>> Augeas is just starting to get picked up by distros like Cooker,

>> Now there is a reference point: augeas in cooker devel

>> Note that augtool is/was the basis (as a nicely designed CLI tool) for

>> Nother are quite simple to do because of the excellently designed augtool
>> "high level" library API.
