ANNOUNCING CFENGINE V1.2.14, the site configuration engine
Mark Burgess, Dept of Computing, Oslo College, Norway,
Dept of Theretical Physics, Univ. of Oslo, Norway.
[ Queries/bug reports to: bug-cfengine@gnu.ai.mit.edu ]
[ Site for latest (unofficial) version: ftp.iu.hioslo.no ]
[ Latest news of updates: http://www.iu.hioslo.no/~mark/cfengine.html ]
Cfengine is a site configuration language. Create a single file or file set
which describes the setup of all the hosts on your network and the
configuration engine polices this configuration, warning about or fixing
problems automatically.
Recent changes:
* File tree copying/images implemented. Instead of linking you can now
physically copy files and keep them updated from a master set. (Handy if
the master is on a filesystem which is not always mounted.)
-Copy single file from master (with update based on mtime)
-Copy all children in a directory (subdirs must be mentioned explicitly)
-Copy files to all users (using home directive) e.g. .cshrc, .mwmrc, .xsession
* ORing of classes is now allowed in declarations using "|":
class1|class2.class3::
* Classes may now contain previously defined classes as members, enabling
hierachies to be set up.
* New editing commands based on regular expressions.
and decision making structures Begin/End. Better
search/replace possibilities and multiple line insertion
commands.
* New improved manual, with hints and tips compendium. (Send your
own for inclusion...) Better example structure. Read carefully...!
* Hard links can also be created and maintained.
* Several reported bugs are fixed.
