Description-en: configuration management system, agent
Puppet is a server automation tool. It is composed of a declarative
language for expressing system configuration, a client and server for
distributing it, and a library for realizing the configuration.
.
The primary design goal of Puppet is to have an expressive enough
language backed by a powerful enough library that you can write your
own server automation applications in just a few lines of code.
Puppet’s deep extensibility and open source license lets you add
functionality as needed and share your innovations with others.
.
This package contains "puppet" service and init script used to run
the puppet agent, and depend on the "puppet-common" package which
contains the software.
