Hi there, |
| 2 |
|

I recently discovered Puppet[1], From their web site: "Puppet is an |
| 4 |
open-source next-generation server automation tool. It is composed of a * |
| 5 |
declarative* language for expressing system configuration, a *client* and * |
| 6 |
server* for distributing it, and a *library* for realizing the |
| 7 |
configuration.". Basically, Puppet intends to be a better cfengine [2] and |
| 8 |
IMHO it looks very promising. That's why I have contributed init scripts for |
| 9 |
Gentoo and integration of Puppet with portage, available from version 0.19.0, |
| 10 |
and have also contributed an ebuild [3] to make Puppet available to all |
| 11 |
those Gentoo sys admins out there. I also have to say that I have found its |
| 12 |
main developer (Luke Kanies) to be very supportive while programming all the |
| 13 |
integration with Gentoo. I hope you find this useful, and if so, contribute |
| 14 |
to make it even better (of course, if you find any problem in the |
| 15 |
integration with Gentoo, feel free to contact me). |

Best regards, |
