It may be interesting for everybody involved in this thread. A rough translation of the overwiew could be: #v+ Configuring all conputers of a network is boring and difficult, mostly in an heterogeneous environment with nomad users. Gaspacho is a Free Software (GNU/GPL v3) permitting to address those difficulties, offering to the administrator the possibility to manager, centrally, the configuration of the users work space in a network. The project was initiated by the french Free Software promotion group in Côte d’Or[2] COAGUL[3] during the "development days" in 2009-2010. #v- The software plan to address the configuration of software, like firefox, on the workstation, you define your rules centrally bind those rules to groups of workstation and an agent on the workstations apply them. It's developed in python[4] and during some meeting it was suggested to wrap some wpkg.js call and to let gaspacho generate the WPKG hosts/profiles/packages form gaspacho rules. As the agent is intended to be modular and fetch plugins from the server, we can imagine to develop the wpkg.js functionality in such a plugin, in python[5], and forget the now abandoned it-was-nice-to-have-you-anyway cscript.exe. All this is conditional/futur, the project is promising but need some forces. Regards.
