[wpkg-users] WPKG + OpenAudIT

[W. Chris Shank]

FYI - We are about 50% done integrating WPKG management with OpenAudIT and a distributed network of PCs/Servers. Currently, the WPKG config has to be pushed or pulled to a server local to the PCs as I've found no way for a PC to stand-alone and get it's WPKG installs from a webserver. I already have all the distributed stuff working with shell scripts. So for instance I add a few packages to a PC configuration and then push the updated xml files. The PCs are configured to check WPKG every hour and do an openaudit scan after installing WPKG stuff (post action). So we will know within an hour if a PC got the software (take care with auto reboots). So the integration with openaudit is web-clicky stuff to build package xml files and modify profiles. Oh yeah, and one change we are making is that each host has a profile directly (one-to-one mapping of host and profile) and we added a "template" layer. this means that you can build a profile-template and then apply to a bunch of hos
 ts, but fundamentally each host has it's own profile. I just found this easier when hosts needed fine-grain adjustment. 

Anyway, I would open source this code if anyone has any interest, just let me know.
