Hi Jeff,
 
Thank you for your prompt and helpful reply.
 
It's definitly good news to me that Fabric can target Windows systems (we are 
using Win 2008 Server R2, I hope it's under the coverage of Fabric targets). 
But my search (including user samples) are all about targeting Linux/Unix, do 
you have any source of targeting Windows?
 
To my understand, we only need to install Fabric/Python/Paramiko on our pushing 
(local) system, are there any requirements (except SSH2 server) on the remote 
systems? 
 
You mentioned to support single command invokation, should all standard systems 
(Windows and Linux RedHat 5.4) have that feature? How can I verify 
that? Sorry for this question, I guess it's too basic (for you), but I just 
want to ensure that I have all the requirements before I move too far. 

Thanks,
Peter

Fabric can be run on any platform that supports Python, so yes, it
will run on Windows. And while most of the development and userbase
runs it from Unix-based platforms like Linux and Mac OS X, there's at
least a few Windows users who keep us honest :) Cygwin is highly
recommended, though not required.

In terms of what Fabric can target (i.e. the remote machines connected
to) it can target anything that runs a valid SSH2 server and supports
single command invocation.

 What is the current stable release of Fabric, 0.9 or 1.0?

0.9.1 is the latest stable release; 1.0 is not a real release yet,
it's simply the label for the expected next major release. Once 1.0
comes out (which will be soon) both 0.9.x and 1.0.x lines will be
supported for a while, and 1.0 will be largely (not entirely)
backwards compatible so it should be an easy upgrade.

 We have installed Python2.6.5 on our systems, is that good for Fabric?

Python 2.6.5 is fine, though you will need to install Paramiko 1.7.6
after installing Fabric, as there is a known issue with our bundled
version of the Paramiko library on Python 2.6.5.

Best,
Jeff

Re: [Fab-user] Basic questoins

2010-08-16 Thread Kevin Horn
Sorry, i don't know of one.  I actually haven't used CopSSh lately, and I
don't have 64-bit windows in use anywhere at the moment, so I haven't really
looked.

CopSSH is basically just a nicely packaged OpenSSH with some add-ons though,
so if you can get OpenSSH built for your platform, it should work too.

HI Jeff,
 
I believe that's the issue I have.
 
Is there any instructions on how to compile and deploy 64-bit winrandom? 
 
We do have 64-bit Win systems around with VS installed, what source do I need 
to build the 64-bit winrandom? Is the output a .dll or .lib (and any other 
files?)? Once I have it compiled, where shold I put it for crypto or fabric?
 
Thanks,
Peter
