[rancid] Less rancid duplication

[Jethro R Binks]

Hi,

Are there any plans to make rancid more modular, in order to reduce the 
duplication of code across the various *login and *rancid files?  Should 
there be?

I ask 'cos it appears I need to write a *login/*rancid module for HP blade 
ethernet switches (Bladesystems rebadged), and I'm wondering (a) with 
which of the existing ones to start, and (b) when the most commonly used 
one (ie, the Cisco one) gets useful updates that are generally applicable, 
how they can be tracked and backported to the modules for other types of 
devices.

Sort of related, will Michael Stefaniuc's wrapper stuff (recently 
mentioned again, and also here:

) be included in a future rancid?

Jethro.
