I just ran into cfengine3 in rawhide, and it certainly is very different 
than v2.  While it may communicate with a v2 server (no idea yet), I 
certainly need to develop a new set of configuration files.

/usr/bin/cfagent -> /usr/sbin/cf-agent

# cf-agent
Can't stat file "/var/cfengine/inputs/promises.cf" for parsing
 !!! System error for stat: "No such file or directory"
cf-agent was not able to get confirmation of promises from cf-promises, 
so going to failsafe
Can't stat file "/var/cfengine/inputs/failsafe.cf" for parsing
 !!! System error for stat: "No such file or directory"

Any good docs for migrating?
