-Bcfg2 is a configuration management tool based on a few simple principles.
- - All aspects of system configuration can be described by the configuration
- management system.
- - All aspects of system configuration are described by the configuration
- management system. This allows the detection of extra configuration
- that contributes to system behavior.
- - Services must be management coherently. This means that the tool must
- be able to determine how to correctly install all aspects of configuration,
- and verify that these are active before a host is determined to be clean.
- This property is implemented using bundles, a construct that is similar
- to closures [1].
-
-The state of the code is as follows. The server side is fairly solid,
-and will continue working in the presence of generator faults. The
-client side fully supports debian toolsets, and all of the standard
-posix constructs used for configuration management (configuration
-files, symlinks, directories, etc)
-
-The code is currently being used in production to manage debian
-systems. There is client support for other architectures, but it
-hasn't been well tested.
-
-The source tree is structured in the following way:
-
-doc/ - documentation
-src/ - source code
-schemas/ - schemas defining the data format for configuration files
