One thing which was discussed on IRC was a pkgsrc bootstrap and set of packages built for e.g. /opt/confmgt, which can be used as a separate area for executing configuration management tools outside of the normal system directories. You would unpack the bootstrap, pkg_add/pkgin your preferred configuration manager, then tar it up as a fully self-contained directory for executing on any host. If people want to let me know if a) this would be useful b) what tools they want in it, then I'll produce a bulk build for it. Initial set would be chef, puppet, salt, ansible, etc. Cheers, -- Jonathan Perkin - Joyent, Inc. - www.joyent.com ------------------------------------------- smartos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/184463/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/184463/25769125-55cfbc00 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=25769125&id_secret=25769125-7688e9fb Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
