I'm assuming it's common to use cfengine to pull master config files from a source, make host-specific changes, and then put them into place. I've run into two early quirks that I didn't see addressed in documentation.
The first quirk is that I don't see a way to serialize identical action-types in an actionsequence. For example, how would I put together a sequence that first would copy files from an NFS mount, perform an editfiles, and then copy them into their proper location? I don't see a way to define something like actionsequence=(copy1 editfiles copy2). My ugly workaround is to use two seperate cfagent.conf files and run them in sequence. I also couldn't find a way to concatenate variables. For example, I'd like to InsertLine in my editfiles stanza for the localhost definition in my /etc/hosts. To do this, I wanted to use the built-in $(host) variable plus some text like: InsertLine "127.0.0.1 $(host)" or even split it into two lines like: myvar = "127.0.0.1 " + $(host) InsertLine "$(myvar)" but neither seem to work. I have a feeling I'm just overlooking the obvious or am not thinking on the right level since I would imagine this type of operation would be very common.
