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! |
