Sure. In fact, I have 2 different "host types" right now, a
"master"
and a "build host" though they can reside on the same machine.
Which roles they have?
I'm not sure that I follow. Are you asking what specific tasks
would be
performed by the roles above?
Yes, what specific tasks would be performed by these host types and
what are benefits of such distinction?
I guess a "master" purpose is to serve updates, or things are more
tricky?
Yeah, you're thinking way too small. ;]
The master server will be the control interface for custom profiles
and
binary repositories, which are built by the build servers. It will
(eventually) also be the configuration engine for each server. I hope
to eventually have a complete system capable of controlling a Gentoo
system from birth to death, from a centralized location.
Is there any public repository where you are developing this stuff in ?
I'd like to contribute if possible.
Additionally I'd be interested in your ideas on managing the
configuration from this master host....
We're currently using puppet for that which works fine for us, curious
why you'd want to re-implement either puppet of cf-engine.
