Hi, I was wondering if there was an application that was a repository for managing files/configs across many Debian and/or Linux boxes. I'd like to not reinvent the wheel if such an application exists, and if not, get to work on one as it seems like it would be a very handy tool.
I manage about 30 debian instances with multiple debian versions (Sarge, Etch, Lenny). I found myself having to dig around boxes to understand what my predecessors did and also manage configurations on the boxes. For most of us, I think once a config is set, it's doesn't change, but maintaining a unified and branched set of configs/file changes on a singular machine might make life a tad bit easier. Here are some of the things I'd like to do or are looking for: - Automatically version files/configs based on changed files. - Allow changes to go upstream to repository of files/configs and/or go downstream when changed on a repository. - Client hosts that don't break with or without the presence of a config/file repository. Allow a machine/config to be given away or accepted with minimal effort. Perhaps one could use a custom set of scripts using git/cvs/subversion, rsync, ssh, but why not have a standard tool that does it without thinking?
