CFEngine is developing at a remarkable speed within version 3, so I initiated a global team in order to make sure that an up to date version of CFEngine is available for the popular Debian Linux distribution. Please find us on: http://lnkd.in/bd8cZe4

The debian-team are now moving towards (co)maintainership of the CFEngine3 Debian package.

Decissions made:

  • We build for Debian Jessie
  • Mechanism for continous delivery, following the heartbeat of the Upsteam project

The presentation covers the way we organized the project

  • Github as a cornerstone
  • Issue tracking
  • Pull requests
  • Building the package from the git repository
  • Testing the package
  • Moving towards (co)maintainership

Demonstration of the newly built package on live machines

  • Bootstrapping a server
  • Bootstraping a client
  • Make a configuration step with the client

The debian-team will be present at http://devopsdays.org 2013 London

CFEngine education Tech talks at http://www.t-dose.org and https://www.nluug.nl .

A German speaking course in Germany is in preparation.
