I can even see +how this is useful: if I where a sys admin with a huge farm of +systems, I wouldn't want to deal with half installed systems, but just +have propellor do a complete job. + +As far as I am only concerned with a few personal computers of mine, I +prefer to stick to my task by task approach, though, and for tasks +that come up reapeatedly (like keeping my apt cache + installed +packages up to date) that seems reasonable to me as well. - having +only a minimal required configuration for a host, and then building +upon that (I think/hope, you got the idea by now). The fact, that +this model is nicely supported by ansible, seems to suggest at least, +that this kind of reasoning/approach is not completely flawed. + +What is not 100% clear to me: if propellor could be bent to support my +kind of workflow: I would think that it's possible? (even though I +might not have the time to bend it that way myself). Or are there any +fundamental issues with it? + +What I am suggesting is: that propellor be at my disposal, +more as a library, and would not also impose a certain +command line interface / workflow on me. + +Anyway, you would certainly win me as a user (don't know +how much that counts, and cannot speak for other people's +needs). + +Thanks anyway. + Andreas + +"""]] -- cgit v1.2.3
