Device management using Bcfg2

Under Construction

This page will shortly contain instructions about running Bcfg2, an open source configuration management system client in Maemo device.

Bcfg2 was chosen as the first try-out candidate because

  • All logic possible is performed at the server end, making the client lightweight
  • Device management is a special use case, fair amount of tailoring is anticipated. Bcfg2 is very tailor-friendly. Nearly all components are replaceable
  • Implementation language is Python, which was already familiar
apt-get install python
tar zxvf bcfg2-0.9.6.tar.gz
cd bcfg2-0.9.6
python setup.py install --install-layout deb --record /root/bcfg2files
