I certainly hope not. There will always be problems that any given tool can't handle well, and there are certainly classes of problems that Puppet can't do well with right now, but it's my hope to always strive to reduce that list of unaddressable problems. > > Isn't there a possibility to somehow please both sides? > > I'm having the same problem as I'm establishing a groupware setup with > puppet and I have no reasonable solution for keeping track of all the > variables so far. Can you please explain in more detail what your issue is? One of the frustrations I have as Puppet's maintainer is that too many people are willing to accept it as it is, rather than laying out their frustrations and ideas of improvements. I'm thick-skinned, and I'd bet I'm a harsher critic on Puppet than *nearly* all of you. If there are problems you can't solve well with Puppet, please start a thread about the problem on puppet-dev. The only way Puppet can continue to grow to solve harder problems is if we know what problems it can't do well right now. -- The people who are regarded as moral luminaries are those who forego ordinary pleasures themselves and find compensation in interfering with the pleasures of others. -- Bertrand Russell --------------------------------------------------------------------- Luke Kanies | http://reductivelabs.com | http://madstop.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
