Assembles a configuration file from fragments. Often a particular
|
|
program will take a single configuration file and does not support a
|
|
conf.d style structure where it is easy to build up the configuration
|
|
from multiple sources. Assemble will take a directory of files that
|
|
have already been transferred to the system, and concatenate them
|
|
together to produce a destination file. Files are assembled in string
|
|
sorting order. Puppet calls this idea "fragments".
