Is there any documentation on the etc/rancid.types.conf usage?

Subject: Cisco WLC support for Rancid 3.1

I've been running rancid 2.3.6 for a good number of years.. I am finally migrating the config over to another newer OS and decided I should probably start w/ the latest 3.1 version of RANCID.. Though, I have a few "hacks" added in over the years.. one of which is for Cisco wireless controllers (WLC) using ciscowlc, wlclogin, and wlcrancid..

I'm curious what the appropriate method is for implementing that into the newer rancid 3.1's /etc/rancid.types.conf style for add-ons?

Also, I'd love to understand why WLC support isn't in RANCID natively by now..

I have a few other "mods" for things I need to reimplement too.. but this should give me a better understanding of how to do it. My other major mod is for apclogin and apcrancid, which uses FTP to collect config.ini's from APC UPS's and PDU's..

Thanks!

yes, see the dell entry as an example.

i have no way to test it and no clear indication that its stable, which
potentially leaves me supporting something I can not easily debug.
