A new Configuration management tool
From the "You really didn't expect him to do this" department.
(Well I did since we shortly chatted about this on irc couple of weeks ago)
Thomas points us to his newest configuration management tool called Savon .
After some thinking, I decided I wanted to redo this tool from scratch, and also consider some other features that would help me use this tool for our platform deployment. The most important one I wanted was to have a concept of an overlay managing a part of the file system, using multiple layers. The layers would then combine as if they were stacked, which would be similar to how I understand things like UnionFS to work (I haven’t tried UnionFS myself, only read about it). The layering would allow me to have parts of the config checkout be related to the machine’s role, part to the specific host, and part to all hosts together.
Kind of like the overrides concept in systemimager, integrated with Subversion, sounds good .. got to look into it..
Too bad this fails..
apt-get install more-time Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done E: Couldn't find package more-time
Otherwise I would have been playing with it already ... well.. it's on my todolist anyway ..
