Glossary

.. glossary:: :sorted:
client
A system that runs the :command:`bcfg2` command. Typically, this
is to receive a configuration from a Bcfg2 server.
generator
A type of plugin which provides file contents. For example
:ref:`server-plugins-generators-cfg` or
:ref:`server-plugins-generators-tgenshi-index`.
Genshi
A Python-based templating engine. `Genshi Homepage`_.
group
A "tag" assigned to a client through a probe or other plugin.
irc channel

probe
A script that executes on a client machine and sets client
metadata such as group membership.
profile
A special type of group that a client is explicitly assigned to.
repository
A collection of folders and files that together define the
configurations that Bcfg2 applies to clients. The repository
is located at :file:`/var/lib/bcfg2` by default. This is not
to be confused with a :term:`VCS` repository, which is an
excellent place to pull your Bcfg2 repository from to manage
changes. When used alone, :term:`repository` refers to a Bcfg2
repository.
VCS
Stands for `Version Control System
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revision_control>`_.
