It is the fifth generation of configuration management tools +developed in the Mathematics and Computer Science Division of Argonne +National Laboratory. + +It is based on an operational model in which the specification can be +used to validate and optionally change the state of clients, but in a +feature unique to bcfg2 the client's response to the specification can +also be used to assess the completeness of the specification. Using +this feature, bcfg2 provides an objective measure of how good a job an +administrator has done in specifying the configuration of client +systems. Bcfg2 is therefore built to help administrators construct an +accurate, comprehensive specification. + +Bcfg2 has been designed from the ground up to support gentle +reconciliation between the specification and current client states. It +is designed to gracefully cope with manual system modifications. + +Finally, due to the rapid pace of updates on modern networks, client +systems are constantly changing; if required in your environment, +Bcfg2 can enable the construction of complex change management and +deployment strategies. %prep %setup -q -n bcfg2-0.9.4pre3 |
