Quoting Charles Duffy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
[Apologies if this is a duplicate post; I tried posting this through
GMANE yesterday without subscribing first, and it appears not to have
gone through; likewise when I posted several hours ago today from a
different address than the one I subscribed].
All,
I'm looking at replacing SuSE SLES9 with Gentoo for an enterprise
application (for reasons of flexibility and licensing) (no, we don't
have an enterprise application budget -- just the reliability
requirements; yaaay, startups!). We're looking to be able to deploy and
manage hundreds of geographically distributed servers.
We have a QA department available to vet each configuration before it is
deployed to the field. We have infrastructure for tracking the progress
of code in svn from creation though QA to deployment; I'm anticipating
tracking a local overlay (containing all packages we use), make.conf,
/etc/portage/*, etc. through this system, autobuilding system images
(either to run virtualized or on real hardware) from the contents of
svn, building binary packages and deploying them to real hardware.
I'm interested in best practices, suggested tools, and/or 3rd party
experiences in this regard.
I have absolutely no experience with this, but during one of my
training courses, I found the following document :

Maybe, it could give some ideas...
Nicolas.
