9 | That's the genkernel-4 code. I've used it for diskless setups and it
10 | works quite nicely. It's living on gentooexperimental.org at the moment.

12 Thanx, I wondered where that went.

18 | Any chance you could share some puppet configs? It would be great to
19 | build a library of Gentoo puppet/cfengine stuff.

21 Yup, we have no problem with that.
22 I'll start setting up some kind of sharing mechanism later this quarter.
23 To be honest they're currently in bad shape because we speed-rolled out
24 the recipes over our serverpark. In the meantime puppet upgraded from
25 23.1 to 24.1 which we didn't have time for.

27 So most of it are highly customized class-files tied closely to our
28 environment. I'll see if I can make some time this weekend to go through
29 them and see what's usable for the community.

31 We're planning to rewrite the entire library to module-based class files
32 over the next three months. Those would be far more useful to the wider
33 community, I was planning on releasing those.
