Distributed WATO now offers a new checkbox Replicate extensions (MKPs and files in ~/local/) in the settings of a site. When you check this then all MKP extension packages and files below the ~/local/ filesystem on the site will be replicated to the slaves. Note: existing files and MKPs on the slave will be removed, so you have an exact replication.

Extension replication is activated per default now if you create a new site connection. Your existing connections are not touched so this is a compatible change.

Extension replication only works with CEE and CRE. Manual setups (./setup.sh) are not supported.
