Hi all, I'm looking into getting some configuration management stuff running for my servers as I move roles into a new environment (yay for virtualization!). I've been looking into bcfg2 and puppet, and though I like the model of bcfg2 more, I'm leaning towards puppet for other reasons.
I do have some questions, however, mostly of the status-checkup variety. For all of these, assume an implicit "and how can I help?", as I am a dev/admin, and I use Ruby for all my scripting already. 1) Is it possible, using stored configurations, to access all of the attributes of all clients from inside a template? 2) How is the transaction log stored on the puppetmaster server? 3) I saw some documentation on the wiki about Prefetch and Flush[1]. I couldn't find any sign of implementation of that in the code. Has there been any progress made? This would be awesome for apt-get/aptitude on Debian.

It seems that there's a start to that looking at Puppet::Type.instances, but it doesn't seem to really be fleshed out, and only seems to be supported through "resources { purge => x}". Are there plans to extend this further? Anyone hacked something like this together for now? Thanks in advance for your help, I'm looking forward to trying out puppet.
