[gentoo-cluster] cfengine with emerge...

Hi all,

 

Is there someone here that use cfengine with emerge? The idea would be
to put a new machine in place, run cfengine and all programs would be
emerge just like all the other machines. But how would you do it to test
if the program is installed? The worst thing I can think of  is to "eix
program | grep program | grep installed or not" and I don't want that J

 

Have a nice day.

eix isn't bad and it's the fastest I know. I don't use cfengine so I 
can't tell you if there are adverse effects to using it with portage. 
You're maybe just not calling eix in the right way tog et the info you 
want, here are a few examples:

*kyron linux-2.6.26-rc5-mm3 # eix -Ic c3
*No matches found.*
kyron linux-2.6.26-rc5-mm3 # eix -Ic portage*
[I] app-portage/portage-utils (0.1.29@04/13/2008): small and fast 
portage helper tools written in C
[I] sys-apps/portage (2.1.4.4@06/11/2008): Portage is the package 
management and distribution system for Gentoo
Found 2 matches.
*kyron linux-2.6.26-rc5-mm3 # eix -Ic sys-apps/portage*
[I] sys-apps/portage (2.1.4.4@06/11/2008): Portage is the package 
management and distribution system for Gentoo

Alexandre,

I'm using cfengine with it. There is a module called "cfportage" (it's at
/var/cfengine/modules) that will define a class if you don't have a package
installed or if you have an older version. If the class defined I'll do a
shell command to install it.

I'm also using catalyst to automate the building, I also have a standard
Gentoo replicas on all my servers.

I just all my servers last week (new catalyst build), so I lost my cfengine
scripts. Otherwise I would post them here.

If you find a better way of doing it (like installing without a shell
script) please let me know.

Best,
Daniel

Thanks, I am looking at it. It look like the latest version has
integrated this module. So you can add one line and after that simply do
a "action=install". I did not try it yet, but I am getting there J

Thanks for the hint.
