-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Today I setup local git repos on linode01.ovirt.org for tracking the services' configurations: Mailman, Wordpress, Supybot, MediaWiki, and /etc. Hopefully my idea here is sane. If it's not, help me make it sane. :) It's clearly not a solution equivalent to Puppet or Chef, but I'm not trying to add a new service :) I'm trying to make sure we have a handle on where we are right now in a lightweight, it's-just-done way.
