Hi all, I'm pleased to announce eneo-update for ESGS and SME (I think, not verified)
It's a new web page in the web manager that lets you update your clients system without the need for shell access. You send the client a small file, the admin goes to the panel, chooses update, chooses the file and voila the system updates easely and without any need for rpm -Uvh whatever :))) You want to update your system because a small bug was found? Just send a notice to all your clients with a small file and follow the procedure. You want to install a custom work in one clients computer? Just send him the email. We use it with our clients and works really well. Actually it's quite similar to the blades concepts but without the need to be "tied" to Mitel's infraestructure (not to say they have yet to release how to make a blade :'( We are trying to reach some king of "common" framework with Darrel and others so that his idea of making a "development iso" or "making easy installs" would follow the same way. That way, all of us (developers) could just come out with a common solution for both problems. You can find all the needed info in: ftp://ftp.e-smith.org/pub/e-smith/contrib/eneo/RPMS/noarch/eneo-update.html As allways, the code is released under GPL licence. The future: 1) Make it easy to uninstall too 2) Some kind of signature verification 3) Some kind of serial number verification 4) Contrib information (what contrib do I have installed, what is this contrib about, what other contribs are available) All graphically in a very similar way as blades (actually I don't know how they work because we don't use any SME server) or smoothwall's update system. That's all. Please join the effort. We are allready four developers but any help would be really appreciated. Specially, create those upd files for others to enjoy :))) More documentation will follow as soon as we have it ready. In the meantime just follow the small instructions in the html file noted above. Thanks in advance. I hope you like it.
