Hi,
i started with func yesterday and find it very useful and since it's
written in python i also wanted to contribute/test if func could
be an replacement for other system management solutions like cfengine.
(so far i think that's possible)
FYI -- You should be aware that Func is /not/ intended to be a
configuration management engine. It's a secure network command/control
library/tool. It lacks many of the things that cfengine or puppet can
do, while being better at those tools for doing things they were not
intended to do, such as writing arbitrary supports/scripts, generating
reports, or telling machines to do things "right now". It doesn't have
anything to ensure a machine stays in a given state, or give a machine
orders the next time it sees it online (yet?). It is a good framework
for writing /new/ applications that need to talk to a lot of machines,
which is the general idea.
Basically it's a good replacement for anything you could do over SSH but
not really trying be anything like cfengine/puppet.
(This is not to say a CMS couldn't be built on top of Func, but no one
is working on this to my knowledge)
Func is a good tool for a lot of things, just warning you a bit, in case
you weren't aware, about what it is not.
