Hi there,
I recently discovered Puppet[1], From their web site: "Puppet is an open-source next-generation server automation tool. It is composed of a declarative language for expressing system configuration, a client and server for distributing it, and a library for realizing the configuration.". Basically, Puppet intends to be a better cfengine [2] and IMHO it looks very promising. That's why I have contributed init scripts for Gentoo and integration of Puppet with portage, available from version 0.19.0, and have also contributed an ebuild [3] to make Puppet available to all those Gentoo sys admins out there. I also have to say that I have found its main developer (Luke Kanies) to be very supportive while programming all the integration with Gentoo. I hope you find this useful, and if so, contribute to make it even better (of course, if you find any problem in the integration with Gentoo, feel free to contact me).
Best regards,
Jose
