Thank you for your feedback.
Though I want to inform you the link to my articles, I'm sorry that it is a paper-based and will not be available online. I'm writing it in serial form under the theme : 'How to manage a large number of servers efficiently'.
In the serial, I pick up cobbler and func.

And in the recent post to this ML, I got the information of the web- frontend : symbolic. I have not actually touched, but the screenshots look great and I'm interested in it. If I have enough time to try it, I want to introduce it in my article. Thanks.

Hello All,

My name is Kazuki Nakajima. I'm writing from Japan.
I know it's sudden but I wrote a func-based tool "func package controller (fpc)". This tool provides the functions of Installing, Updating, Deleting the packages (RPMs) and also Listing the host where the specified package is installed.

I like func about its simplicity and flexibility. But on the other hand, it is not necessarily obvious what is the benefit by using func for general users because func is developed focusing on API based usage. (is that right?) And also it is true that there is few applications using func at present.

And I wrote fpc.
It does not have wide variety of functions but covers fundamental operations in controlling RPMs on large number of hosts. Now func has yumcmd module, but I need more function and the better usability. Of course, as fpc is dedicated for CLI use, its output is user friendly. I wish this tool will be a one of the example of func-based application, and I would be happy if you give me some feedback. fpc is available from following.

http://nkjmkzk.net/file/fpc-1.0.zip

Now I'm also writing some articles about func in japanese magazine.
I hope func would become popular and many developers and users get involved.

Thank you !

It's always good to see some more interest in Func and things written with it, and I look forward to your articles! That is definitely our goal -- to enable people to write programs with it as well as just use the built-in command line when people want.

"
## Setting timout. Since package installation or update often takes long time, this number should be set big enough.(Default = 20sec) fc.sslclient.SSLCommon.SSLConnection.SSLConnection.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT = 1800

"""

Nice :)

We have some intent on fixing async mode to make it more usable in the future, which will solve this in a way other than extending the SSL/XMLRPC timeouts. That is a clever way to do it though :)

If you have any interesting patches to the RPM and/or yum modules that we would find useful, please send them our way!

Also, please share your links to your articles when you get those out, I would love to see them, even run through babelfish as the case may be :)
