Yes, I meant to say it *would* be nice to be able to "scale it down", as I 
mentioned in some other thread pure Ruby doesn't seem the best suited for 
this.

Then again, it might be that the use case is a bit different, on a lot of 
small devices space, memory and processing power constraints make it hard to 
install additional software and especially daemons.  Sometimes it's easier to 
just operate on those devices via SSH channel with available OS tools.  It's 
just when I do that it usually feels like there's a lot of duplication of 
functionality going on.

Looking at http://code.google.com/p/android-ruby/, it is an interpreted
language on top of a mix of bytecompiled and native code. (So, slightly
worse than other environments, where it is simply interpreted+native.)

Puppet, being an interpreter in it's own right written in ruby, adds another
layer of same..

Is there something I'm missing? (As an aside, 50 megs - only 3 shared -
seems to be fairly standard for memory use when idle. That -screams- "not
made for embedded" :) ..)

That last isn't fair: Ruby on Android is native ARM code, talking to a
different display layer.  It should be no less efficient than Ruby without any
of the Android bits on ARM.

Nothing that involves ruby counts as "scaling it down". At that point, you
have so much spare ram and cpu that you are trying to use it all up
somehow..

(That isn't a cut on ruby, although it does seem to be a little less

Yeah, I fully agree.  Especially since puppet can simply manage what needs to 
be managed and leave the rest alone, it's very useful to be able to "scale it

I can't speak for Aaron, and my own interest doesn't include Android at
the moment.  But I do run puppet on some Linux phone simulator environments
and intend to run it on the real devices too.  Why not, if it's possible?
They need to be managed, just like everything else.

Ho, ho, not even close.  Have you actually looked at Android?

Their "bionic" libc is not glibc, and requires porting effort to get Ruby
running.  Then you get to ensure that the puppet client runs inside their
security model, and all the associated fun.


So, um, no, it isn't even close to desktop Linux any more than any other
deeply embedded Linux is.

(Also, expect to write a non-trivial number of resource providers, given that
 you are in an environment radically different to anything puppet now supports.)

Daniel

I am *really* curious, though: what were you hoping to *do* with puppet?

Hello,

We have some interest on looking at Puppet on Android - it's just
