Sexy-Entwicklung - Entschuldigung fuer den Laerm
by Nico Schottelius 02 Feb '10

02 Feb '10

Guten Morgen zusammen! Entschuldigt bitte den Lärm der letzten E-Post, es ist etwas "hängengeblieben" [0]. Gleichzeitig möchte ich kurz die Chance nutzen, um über die aktuelle Entwicklung zu informieren: Sexy ist nun bei der Systems Group produktiv im Einsatz, verwaltet DNS und DHCP und seit heute auch next-server und bootfilename Einträge. Die API ist schon recht groß [tm] (siehe sexy-config-load und bin/), jedoch noch nicht stabil. Das Datenbankdesign findet ihr in doc/devel/db-design, eine Beispieldatenbank in database/. In einer der nächsten Versionen gibt es sogar eine Anleitung (!), wie man es benutzt, um die Sysadmin-Tätigkeiten damit zu verwalten. Die momentane Kurzfassung ist: export PATH:$PATH:~/pfad-zu-sexy/bin ln -s ~/pfad-zu-sexy/database ~/.sexy Wenn ihr Fragen haben solltet, lasst es mich einfach wissen! Viele Grüße, Nico [0]: git push vs. git push --all vs. git push --mirror vs git push --tags ;-) -- Systems Group Sysadmin Tel: +41 (0) 44 632 76 09 D-INFK/ETH Zurich
