Great. I didn't know about any of that. I don't have access to those boxes so I can't just pull it off the machines directly. Can it be published somewhere? re finding someone to puppetize: I can't commit to anything for at least a week; will reevaluate then unless someone else has done it first. > I've been administrating the pediapress software installation on these > machines without receiving any gratitude. In fact I received quite the > opposite. Sorry! I asked around (before my original message) and no one seemed to know where the config was stored so I mailed the list. Actually I didn't even know you were the administrator until reading that last paragraph. > Asking me to "commit to maintain it" just feels wrong to me. The ops > team wants to control these machines, so they should do it! I think it's perfectly reasonable. Config for the cluster should be stored in gerrit and that should (ideally) be the canonical copy; at any rate, changes to the cluster should never propagate to gerrit as an afterthought, rather they should be propagated as an early step in the process of making a change to the cluster. Getting a snapshot of one point in time that is then never updated is useful (for a little while) but having a copy that's always in sync with what's actually running is also quite important. Note: This doesn't need to be puppet even. (although it would be eventually moved there naturally I guess) It could just be putting some # of sub dirs of /etc into git. (or /home/pp/local ? idk the layout...) Again, I'm volunteering to sanitize for you and if WMF ops already has access to the path you named then that may be good enough.
