| | 6 | |
| | 7 | == Development Goals == |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | * piling more modes (in an organized way) into bcfg2-admin, putting more of the ad hoc stuff from the tools directory into the hands of package-only users |
| | 10 | * streamlining acquisition/analysis |
| | 11 | * Continuous mode for the client -- where only previously conforming entries are changed |
| | 12 | * Centralized per-entry decision support (for building automatic reconfiguration processes), both rule-based and point-in-time |
| | 13 | * Cleaning up the revision control support |
| | 14 | * Support for server-initiated writes (clients.xml/ssh keys/bcfg2-admin pull data) |
| | 15 | * Plugin infrastructure for other revision ctl systems |
| | 16 | * Modular data source support -- adding the ability to build a set of data inputs for configuration generation interfacing with: |
| | 17 | * ldap |
| | 18 | * mysql |
| | 19 | * files |
| | 20 | * PODIM |
