[aur-general] [arch-general] Salt update to 0.8.8
by Thomas S Hatch 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

I have not mentioned this here for a while, but I am a big fan of seeing what the Arch community is developing, and in the past I have gotten some real interest from the Arch community on this front. I just released Salt 0.8.8, salt is an application used for very fast remote management of systems via zeromq. Salt allows you to manage large groups of servers from a master server with simple commands, and salt also contains functionality for configuration management. Salt is meant to fill the roles of applications like puppet, mcollective, func, cgengine, fabric, Capistrano and many others. The release announcement is here: http://red45.wordpress.com/2011/05/30/salt-0-8-8/ Arch package is here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=47512 Video explaining how to use Salt and what it is in detail is here: http://blip.tv/thomas-s-hatch/salt-0-8-7-presentation-5180182 And the (under heavy development) website and docs are here: http://thatch45.github.com/salt-www/ Salt is developed on Arch, but is made to run on any Linux/BSD Let me know what you all think! -Thomas S Hatch

[aur-general] changing a PKG's name and retaining votes/comments
by member graysky 01 Jun '11

I maintain the kernel26-ck in the AUR. Once the devs decide on a new name for the kernel package based on the upcoming "3.0" release, either "linux" or "kernel" or "kernel30" or whatever, is it possible to change the name of my "kernel26-ck" PKG and retain all of the comments/votes it has under the current name? Thanks!
