from a coworker: why func over capistrano ? === Well, my interest in func is getting rid of SSH keys management is favor of dynamic certificate signing over an out of band channel ( I,e without openssh). Also, func is to be integrated with other management tools like Cobbler and other mass management infrastructure toolkit of the fedora emerging technology group I follow closely these days.
Im not saying Capistrano is not powerfull…. but it may not go in the same direction I would like and without other technologies/projects backing it. === 2009/2/7 Jamis Buck <[email protected]>: > > On Sat, Feb 7, 2009 at 8:01 AM, Mathieu Jobin <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> to my understanding then ... >> if I would have to put capistrano in a client-server relation, there >> would be only a server part, the capistrano "patchsets definition" >> and there is no capistrano clients part needed, only sshd. > > The other way around.
