Pete, The cfengine3 package in the Ubuntu repositories is version 3.0.5, which is fairly old. The ability to use --bootstrap on the community edition of CFEngine first appeared in 3.2.0, the current version is 3.2.3.
If you don't want to compile from source (which is very easy to do), I would suggest you use the binary packages provided by us, which are available at https://cfengine.com/inside/myspace (you need to register a cfengine.com account, but it's free and gives you access to several additional resources at https://cfengine.com/inside/index ). Those are not fully up to date - the latest is 3.2.1, but it's still much more recent than 3.0.5. And it does not mess with the paths :) Once you install a more recent version, when you bootstrap it it will automatically create a few sample files, including an update bundle. /var/cfengine/masterfiles is only needed on the policy hub, and if it's not installed automatically, you can copy it from /usr/local/share/cfengine/masterfiles/ (if my memory doesn't fail me). Hope this helps, --Diego On Friday, December 23, 2011 at 5:19 PM, Pete Ashdown wrote: > Does anyone have cfengine3 working with multiple nodes with the default > Ubuntu 10.04 packages?
