Hello everyone!!!! |

Here on my company we are going to start deploying Gentoo Linux on our |
| 4 |
customers. Every server will have the very same installed packages, |
| 5 |
the very same use flags, very same cflags, only a few configurations |
| 6 |
will differ. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
I would like the deployment and maintenance to be done as easily as |
| 9 |
possible because this project needs to be scalable to more than 100 |
| 10 |
servers. Although we are going to install only 10 servers in the |
| 11 |
beginning, my boss says that I should be prepared for this number to |
| 12 |
grow. |

Yesterday I found about the SCIRE project that seems to solve my |
| 15 |
problems easily. But it seems that the project's development is |
| 16 |
stopped. Unfortunately, I don't know a thing of Phyton, so I can't |
| 17 |
help. Do anyone know how is the project going? Are we going to have a |
| 18 |
production usable release? If so, when? It's not like I'm pushing |
| 19 |
anything, I just want to know if I can count on it or not. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Setting the project aside, I'm thinking about developing my own |
| 22 |
installer to install a catalyst's stage4 and reboot a working Gentoo. |
| 23 |
After that I'm thinking about using emerge with binary packages to |
| 24 |
install updates automatically. What do you think? Will it work? Is it |
| 25 |
possible to rollback an update if something goes wrong? |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
To solve the problem with incompatible configuration files, everytime |
| 28 |
I upgrade anything, a perl script will reconfigure the customers |
| 29 |
server. |

Thank you all for your help and insights. |

Best regards, |
