Instead of constantly making these updates, let's just remove the year
since things are stored in git anyways, and this is not an actual modern
legal risk anymore.
This is needed for bigger code bases. Remember: this is consulted at the
deploy stage, and the deploy contains the entire tree (including
modules) of everything it needs to run. This is why you don't need to
add a --module-path arg when running mgmt in systemd with the "empty"
frontend.
Here's a good first way to implement handoff. What's particularly
elegant about handoff here, is that this is the first form of it I know,
where handoff happens between a provisioning tool and a configuration
management tool and those are the same tool! As a result, this can allow
for some really elegant integration, and the end-user never has to deal
with the combinatorial explosion of the N * M scenario of gluing each
provisioning tool to each different configuration management tool.
We'll have other forms of handoff in the future, but this simple
approach is useful already.
This commit adds the ability to build a standalone provisioning tool.
This is the first useful public mcl code base as well. It is not
perfect, but does serve as a rough starting point to show what is
possible. In the future as the language and the engine evolve, this will
likely get more elegant, and also grow new features.
To build this, run `make clean && GOTAGS='embedded_provisioner' make`.
To run this, run `mgmt provisioner`.
