Hi Marcos, Let's not ask Bigtop specific questions on [email protected]. So let's reply on [email protected]

So I guess you will also like the fact that our VMs are made through boxgrinder and are using Fedora tools to create the live usb/cd image :) > - Second: Bruno said to me that he and his team are working on some > puppet recipes to deploy the entire cluster easily and quickly. > I'm a big fan of Puppet too (In my daily work like Sysadmin, I use it in > every configuration task of several nodes), and this is very interesting > to me too. > First of all, to avoid any confusion let's talk of "community" instead of "teams". Then, all the puppet code is in the directory bigtop-deploy/puppet. There are also some minimal instructions regarding how to use them: https://github.com/apache/bigtop/blob/trunk/bigtop-deploy/puppet/README.md If you have any question, don't hesitate to ask on the mailing list. > I'm a Git lover, so, I will clone the project for the Apache git, and I > will see the best and quick way to help to you. > Thanks a lot for your time > Best wishes Most of the contributors on Bigtop use git, so don't hesitate to ask questions as well on the mailing list. As a reminder, the layout of Bigtop goes this way: bigtop-deploy/live-cd => files to create bootable live cd/usb bigtop-deploy/puppet => all the puppet recipes bigtop-deploy/vm => boxgrinder manifests bigtop-packages => packaging files bigtop-test-framework => test framework bigtop-tests => tests artefacts/suites Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any question, remark or issue. Thanks, Bruno
