Roadmap

This Roadmap is subject to change.

0.4

• Hardware and Configuration gathering. [done]

• Package Support for some major linux distributions (Debian/Ubuntu, CentOS/Fedora, SuSE) [done]

  For example:

  install package => "apache2" => {
     version => '2.2.15',
  };

  Or "installing" a file:

  install file => "/etc/apache2/httpd.conf" => {
     source    => "/export/config-files/etc/httpd/httpd.conf",
     on_change => service restart => "apache2"
  };

• Service Management (init-scripts) [done]

  For example:

  service restart => "apache2";
  
  service stop => "apache2";
  
  service status => "apache2";
  
  unless( service( status => "apache2" ) ) {
     service start => "apache2";
  }
