# Contents to add to the package

  # Simple config file
  - src: path/to/local/foo.conf

    dst: /etc/bar.conf
    type: config|noreplace

  # These files are not actually present in the package, but the file names
  # are added to the package header. From the RPM directives documentation:
  #
  # "There are times when a file should be owned by the package but not
  # installed - log files and state files are good examples of cases you might
  # desire this to happen."
  #
  # "The way to achieve this, is to use the %ghost directive. By adding this
  # directive to the line containing a file, RPM will know about the ghosted
  # file, but will not add it to the package."
  #
  # For non rpm packages ghost files are ignored at this time.
  - dst: /etc/casper.conf
    type: ghost
  - dst: /var/log/boo.log

  # You can user the packager field to add files that are unique to a specific packager

Templating

Templating is not and will not be supported.

If you really need it, you can build on top of NFPM, use envsubst, jsonnet or apply some other templating on top of it.
