Configuration Management

The ConfigSystem command line executable for managing LAT-level vote files, bin/ConfigManager.py, can be used in several ways.

1. To list LAT configurations and the files associated with each.
2. To read and validate a vote file before importing it into MOOT.
3. To import a vote into MOOT.
4. To set an alias to point at a vote already in MOOT.
5. To examine a vote file and get a printout of the values in the file.
6. To copy vote file and replace one or mode values in the new vote file.
7. To build parameter files from a vote file already in MOOT.
8. To print a table with LAT configurations and aliases.
9. To print the dependencies for ancillary and vote files.

Note that the first seven of these actions are the same as for bin/AncillaryManager.py and bin/PrecinctManager.py. With a few exceptions noted below, they obey the same syntax.
