[leaf-user] Writing scripts to configure Bering?

[Eric House]

I've been running LRP and Bering in various forms for about four years
(currently Bering-uClibc), and have probably set up new systems about
20 times (at home and for friends, not professionally.)  It's gotten
to be a chore, and that feeling keeps me from jumping on beta and rc
releases as quickly as I otherwise would.

It ought to be possible to write a script to configure Bering, and
over the past few days I've written one that basically works.  It even
manages to set the password and generate dropbear keys, steps that
required me to learn a few new tricks (which is what makes Linux fun.)

But in several years of skimming most of the messages on this list I
don't recall seeing any discussion of auto-configuration of LEAF.  Has
anybody else done this?  Are there pitfalls I haven't found yet?  Any
recommended techniques -- applying diffs vs. writing rules to make
changes, etc.?  Is there any work I can adapt, or any interest in what
I'm doing once it's done?

Thanks, as always, for LEAF!

Alex Rhomberg wrote a leafdiff tool (look in the devel archives) which might help you
