I'm working for about a year with cfengine community now and I have implemented
some pretty complex stuff in it. While I do like
Hi,
I'm a newbie trying to figure out if I can migrate from some in-house
scripts to cfengine3 for configuration management. As such, I'm struggling
a little to think in the "cfengine3 way".
What is the idiomatic way of doing if...else statements in cfengine3? Is

Thanks Mark, much appreciated: I had missed the link to the special topics
guides.
However, it wasn't the "if" bit I was fuzzy about,

I'd add one more. Make sure all the tutorials work. Hand them to a
random sysadmin and have him do them verbatim. Last I checked (about a

The new bootstrap code is a nice start, but
