Re: providing custom actions

[Tim Nelson]

	I hadn't been intending to mention this until I had some more bugs 
fixed, but since everyone else is talking about cfengine-related package 
manegement solutions, let me mention my take on it.  It's a little like 
the guys who used a MySQL database to manage them, except mine lets you 
associate packages with a particular class.

	So, basically, you use the web-based management interface to 
associate packages with a particular class, and when cfengine runs, it 
will ensure that all these packages are installed, and remove any packages 
which aren't considered relevant.  If you use SQL, you can even associate 
particular versions of a package with particular classes (hopefully that 
will someday be in the management interface).  The whole thing is written 
using Perl and PostgreSQL.

	It's getting pretty close to ready.  When I've done a few more of 
the top-priority tasks, I'll release it :).
