Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
at the moment I'm in the process of planing/deploying an infrastructure |
| 4 |
environment based on gentoo (infrastructure servers and clients). |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
The infrastructure should mainly be based on the famous |
| 7 |
infrastructure.org paper. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
I'm planning to have a "gold-server" with pre-compile binary packages, |
| 10 |
as well as the related configuration files. Those divided into different |
| 11 |
host groups (web, mail etc.). |
| 12 |
All of the above should be under version control. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Hence my questions related to this topic: |
| 15 |
What approaches/tools are you using (for example for host installation, |
| 16 |
application/configuration management, ad hoc changes etc.)? |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Is it wise to use the gentoo specific tools (like emerge) on the |
| 19 |
clients, or do you prefer more "generalized" tools? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Well, one specific question I have a the moment is how to strip down a |
| 22 |
gentoo system to it's base system. So that it doesn't contains any |
| 23 |
development tools/dependencies (compilers, dev-libs, etc.)? Since I |
| 24 |
would like to use binary packages on the clients. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
It would be really great if you could share your experience, thoughts, |
| 27 |
hints etc. regarding this subject. |

Many thanks in advance! |
