Prior art

A list of similar applications that I found:

• https://debathena.mit.edu/config-packages/
• https://wiki.debian.org/ConfigPackages
• http://machinery-project.org/ - They do some stuff that's very similar to the systemwide-patches epic. ("Validate systems by comparing against a known good state. Capture reference configuration in template descriptions. Track changes of configuration or installed files over time or compared to other systems.") If only it was written in a good language, instead of Ruby.

Other small CM solutions:

• synctool
• cdist
• BundleWrap
