Publish new configration files in a directory of a web server. Developer can use "mad-admin update" to download and overwrite the current config files. This way, we can describe new targets/runtimes and other components in the config files or modify existing components.
Tomi:
Also, if the repository url can be given from command line that might be dangerous -- via social engineering one can persuade naive user to update the configuration from malicious source; therefore the script should not offer alternative download addresses... unless package signing is taken into use...
Create a package each component (or only its config file) in OBS.
