Hello All,
Not sure this is the perfect place to post, but you are such a helpful
bunch, I thought I'd give it a crack.
In several previous jobs I've put together automated builds for Windows
boxes, complete with app installs, configuration, bla bla. Now in a new
role, I need to develop an automated framework to cover Linux (RHEL),
Solaris and Windows. This will probably be in python, so I'll try and have
a common menu system asking a sensible set of questions at the beginning.
What general techniques would you guys recommend for automated builds of
Linux/Solaris? Is it as simple as partitioning, untarring an appropriate
set of files and writing some config out? It certainly has to be easier
than the rather convoluted Windows process :)
Any advice/suggestions gratefully received.
Cheers from sunny London,
Paul
p.s. I'm trying to make a case for use of Gentoo internally (I find Gentoo
package management easier and more flexible than yum/deb) - but since I'm
working for an investment fund, the powers that be are keen on the cozy
supportedness of RHEL. Any suggestions here welcome too!
