Hi Philip,
I've never used rdist before, but I've just checked the man page
quickly... How many servers have you got that's you've got a 260 MiB and
5800 file repository? Is this a raw file count or are some of those
files redundant (like ldap.conf going out to every single server and
being counted 100+ times)?

We have an existing "management system" of sorts, based on rdist. I'd
like to know the best way to migrate it to using puppet.
Currently, we have a local binaries tree, rdisted out nightly. We
also make use of rdist's extra capability to trigger scripts when and
if named files are updated.
I'm not sure what the best method would be, of converting this to puppet.
I havent found any puppet method that seems clearly designed for,
"replicate this large tree of files out to clients".
The local tree is 260megs, in 5800 files.
Converting all that stuff to be package based, would be a chore. It
would also meet with a great deal of pushback from admins who are used
to making changes by just logging on to the rdist master, changing the
tree, and then being done. Building a new package for every change,
woud be very unpopular.
Even if I limited the puppet involvement, to just "if file /xx/yy
changes, do z" triggers... doesnt that require that it has some master
copy of /xx/yy somewhere to compare to?
Or is it that the local puppet demon takes timestamps the first time
it runs? but then what about when the demon restarts?
