        ==========
        
        Lightweight Salt package à la `confd 
        <https://github.com/kelseyhightower/confd>`__
        management of local application configuration files.
        
        Why
        ---
        
        Please note that the intent of this software package is not to compete against
        ``confd`` or other popular equivalents; it was born purely out of my personal
        preference / bias of using Salt for managing files (and others). Salt is
        typically at the opposite end of "lightweight" and this package aims to
        alleviate this, however it still cannot get better than ``confd`` - from this
        perspective. Alas, it's written in Python (please let's not have this discussion
        over here 😄).
        
        In short, here's why I took this approach:
        
        * Why not? It's fun.
        * I like Salt, and it offers a variety of well-known templating languages to
          manage the files, including Jinja, Mako, Cheetah, or even pure Python - and
          others. In other words, I find that I prefer to use something I'm already
          comfortable with, particularly in environments where Salt is already a
          requirement.
        * What I find missing in ``confd`` is the possibility to manage the local config
          files based on more environment parameters - e.g., have idempotent templates
          that can be used across a number of distributions (as in opposite to having
          separate files / directory tree / or even repositories for different
          base operating system distribution); with Salt, this can be very easily done
          using the Grains.
        * Not only local templates: it often happens to have your template on a server
          elsewhere; at the end of the day, you need the resulting config file, not its
          source.
          With Salt Confd, you can use source files directly available via HTTP, S3,
          SWIFT, SVN, or FTP.
        * Salt covers a large variety of backends to fetch the data from (including 
          Redis, Vault, Consul, etcd, and so on).
        * Salt is easily extensible (not by forking the project), but in
          your own environment by simply putting the module for your backend of choice
          under a specific path.
        
          Or, to put this differently, if you need a different backend, or an additional
          feature, you won't need to fork the entire project and re-compile it; instead,
          you can preserve the existing usage and just provide it with your own code
          implementing the feature or backend you need.
