well we are a big shop although where i have been in the past have been 'bigger' - anyhow we do use puppet for configuration management but i am not convinced thats the best route for package management. I am personally in favour of running boxes stateless and if you need to 'patch' it then let cobbler rebuilt it to a certain known profile. Alas that thinking is taking a while to filter through so until then i'd like to be able to show a nice GUI that says boxes X are at profile Y in terms of installed packages. thanks _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
