Name : bcfg2
Product : Fedora 13
Version : 1.1.0
Release : 2.fc13
URL : http://trac.mcs.anl.gov/projects/bcfg2
Summary : Configuration management system
Description :
Bcfg2 helps system administrators produce a consistent, reproducible,
and verifiable description of their environment, and offers
visualization and reporting tools to aid in day-to-day administrative
tasks. It is the fifth generation of configuration management tools
developed in the Mathematics and Computer Science Division of Argonne
National Laboratory.
It is based on an operational model in which the specification can be
used to validate and optionally change the state of clients, but in a
feature unique to bcfg2 the client's response to the specification can
also be used to assess the completeness of the specification. Using
this feature, bcfg2 provides an objective measure of how good a job an
administrator has done in specifying the configuration of client
systems. Bcfg2 is therefore built to help administrators construct an
accurate, comprehensive specification.
Bcfg2 has been designed from the ground up to support gentle
reconciliation between the specification and current client states. It
is designed to gracefully cope with manual system modifications.
Finally, due to the rapid pace of updates on modern networks, client
systems are constantly changing; if required in your environment,
Bcfg2 can enable the construction of complex change management and
deployment strategies.

Update Information:
* Mon Sep 27 2010 Jeffrey C. Ollie <jeff at ocjtech.us> - 1.1.0-2
- Update to final version
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ChangeLog:
* Mon Sep 27 2010 Jeffrey C. Ollie <jeff at ocjtech.us> - 1.1.0-2
- Update to final version
* Wed Sep 15 2010 Jeffrey C. Ollie <jeff at ocjtech.us> - 1.1.0-1.3.rc5
- Update to 1.1.0rc5:
-
- Packages:
- - Assign the deps variable before resolution.
- - Allow xinclude and add XML error handling
- - Remove log line from black/whitelist test
- - Allow for whitelisting
- Patch from IRConan to allow for whitelisted packages in
- sources.
- - Treat blacklisted packages as if they don't exist
- Currently a blacklisted package stops further source processing.
- This prevents any other sources from defining a good package.
- - Document new knobs and added schema validator
- - Move knobs to config.xml
- - Resolver/Metadata options
- Patch from Jack Neely to add enable/disable options to the resolver
- and metadata pareser.
- - Allow soft relaods and use a checksum for cache file.
- Use checksum for cache file.
- Allow reloads of config.xml and sources without downloading everything.
- Merged config.xml and source processing into a single function.
- - Expose repo data as a Connector
- - fix type conflict
- - invalidate virt_pkgs cache when source data is reloaded
- - dep resolver rewrite
- Fix dep resolver to take all providers of a dependency into consideration.
- Rewrite resolver to be simpler at the same time.
- - Added support for "apt" and "yum" as non-distro specific magic groups
-
- YUMng:
- - Better error handling for installs
- - Deal with any possible Yum verify exceptions
- - patch from Tim Laszlo to handle verifying broken symlinks
- - fix bug #931
- getinstalledgpg() is an RPMng method and is no longer needed in YUMng.
- - Fix Path type='ignore' traceback (Reported by Thomas Ackermann)
- - speed improvements, multilib verify bug fixes, configuration knobs
- The pkg_checks, pkg_verify, installed_action, version_fail_action, and
- verify_fail_action configuration knobs are all wired back up. Caching
- implemented to help speed up the package verify routine.
- Work arounds for Yum bug: http://yum.baseurl.org/ticket/573
- - Speed improvements, Enable reinstalls
- We no longer use RPMng in YUMng. This improves speed by not calling
- prelink as yum takes care of that for us.
- Yum can do reinstalls on package verify fail so lets wire that up.
- - All gpg-pubkey must be in the proper work queue to be installed.
- gpg-pubkeys are not packages, yet we treat them as so. They require
- special handling for all install/upgrades/etc. This corrects a
- condition where gpg-pubkeys were "upgraded" rather than "installed."
- - YUMng display classes, always compare string versions of packages.
- The package object here can be either a yum PO or a string. Comparing
- strings to POs tracebacks.
- Display classes for the YUMng driver
- - YUMng re-implementation of VerifyPackage using the Yum API.
-
- doc:
- - Some clarifications on Decisions plugin.
- - Minor fixes to SSHbase documentation
- - Style fixes
- - Fix hyperlinks
- - Add the rest of the altsrc documentation for Ticket #923
-
- schema:
- - Schema updates for Path type="ignore"
- - repo-validate: Validate two levels of Group nesting (Fixes
- Ticket #805)

- - bcfg2.spec.in: Fix lxml requirement for bcfg2 client (Reported by tac on IRC)
- - Tools/__init__.py: Autoload client tools present in the Tools directory
- - bcfg2-info: Add IPython support (Patch from Jeff Strunk) for Ticket #921
- - BB: Deprecate BB plugin (Resolves Ticket #923)
- - bcfg2: Add back the new SSL key options (Fixes Ticket #916)
- The man page no longer contains the -K option mentioned in Ticket #908.
- This has been removed since [6013]. We still need the key option available
- in the client to prevent Ticket #916.

- their older equivalents.
