Description-en: configuration management system
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 the puppet software and documentation. To
automatically start a puppet agent, install the "puppet" package. To
install and configure a puppet master, install one of the
"puppetmaster" or "puppetmaster-passenger" packages.
