conf-templater 0.2.0

Config files templater

Package provides templating of mako-based templates of package config files.

Purpose

The main idea is, that config can be generated via console arguments of it`s required values. It is useful for deploy with configuration systems like ansible and others.

There is no more reason to keep config template itself separately from application (in deploy scripts/roles/whatever) or to define example with comments what config values require changing.

Besides that, package or program, as usual, is situated in system package directory (with config templates), that looks like one more problem during configuring.
