[Fab-user] pave, A new config and deployment tool

[f***@mgmiller.net]

Hi,

I'd like to announce a new tool I've been working on called pave, for batch
setup of machines. Yet another one, true... I wasn't happy with those I've
encountered and it has been fun, since I used fabric to do all the hard work.

It's simpler than Chef, Puppet, Salt, etc. and works mostly like Ansible,
although it doesn't upload scripts unless you ask. Find it here:

https://bitbucket.org/mixmastamyk/pave/
https://pave.readthedocs.org/en/latest/
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pave/

Basically you give it a simple yaml file and it directs fabric to do whatever
you might need. Tested mostly on Ubuntu Precise, but I've run it a few times on
CentOS 6. No one else has tried it yet so I apologize if there are any silly
typo-style bugs, I promise to fix those quickly as I hear about them. And of
course I could use help improving it. ;)

This sounds very interesting for us. I tried to install pave on our Red Hat server, but got an error :

[***@edbdvfs01 fabric]# pave
â INFO main: pave version 0.56, Python: 2.6.6, fabric: 1.6.0
pavefile: ./pave.yml, logs: /tmp/pave/root/logs
â FATAL main: "Linux/Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 6.1 Santiago" is not yet supported.

Do you know why?

Hi, I've made a number of improvements, bug fixes, and further simplifications
to the design of the new tool called pave. Thanks to the folks that have helped
out.
