there are some ways to deal with it. 1. augeas, but it depends on what application are you using. augeas only works when template available. the most common config files are built-in supported like sysctl.conf, iptables, httpd.conf. you have to write your own augeas template if you are using own apps. 2. template, i think erb template is a good idea. copy config file and add variables or ruby codes. as you say, you don't want to use it because you just need modify a few part of a big file. so, consider way 3 and 4. 3. erb template can insert any ruby code you want, so save the static part to a file, and read it at top of erb template can let you include other file. but template is compiled in master, so the static file must in master and may not what you wanted. 4. like sysctl, httpd most apps in linux already have include functions, my suggestion is try to find if your app config can include another config file or not. if not, can you add it?
