Traditionally, entries are defined in two stages. First, an abstract entry is defined in a bundle. This entry includes a type (the XML tag) and a name attribute. Then this entry is bound for a client, providing the appropriate instance of that entry for the client. Specifying a bound entry short-circuits this process; the only second stage processing on Bound entries is to remove the “Bound” prefix from the element tag. The use of a bound entry allows the single stage definition of a complete entry. Bound entries can be used for any type.</p> <p>Example:</p> <div class="highlight-xml"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="nt"><Bundle</span> <span class="na">name=</span><span class="s">'ntp'</span><span class="nt">></span> <span class="nt"><BoundPackage</span> <span class="na">name=</span><span class="s">'ntp'</span> <span class="na">type=</span><span class="s">'deb'</span> <span class="na">version=</span><span class="s">'1:4.2.4p4+dfsg-3ubuntu2.1'</span><span class="nt">/></span> <span class="nt"></Bundle></span> </pre></div> </div> </div> <div class="section" id="altsrc"> <h2>altsrc<a class="headerlink" href="#altsrc" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2> <p>The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">altsrc</span></tt> attribute lets you remap configuration entry names on the server side so you can reuse a single concrete representation for multiple abstract entries.
