Raymond is a platform-independent distributed host manager written in Perl. It automates information collection and maintenance, creates relationships, and provides hooks to implement those relationships any way you see fit.

2.051 2004.04.04 - Interface tweaks, code cleanup in GUI.pm - Adjustments to menu generation methods to make it easier to add custom context menus - renamed EnvVersion to EnvRelease for consistency
2.05 2004.04.02 - Eliminated OS and OSVersion objects, which were never useful - renamed PackageCName, Package, PackageConfig to Application, AppRelease, Package respectively, for clarity - factored out the platform information from Package objects, to make it possible to gracefully certify a package for more than one platform combination - Accumulated experience with this product has shown that the preferred implementation of Raymond has become the use of an adjunct administrative account to move files and collect data, which then uses sudo to do privileged things on the target. This is safer and more controllable, and does not require remote root access to be enabled. A corollary to this: - eliminated targetPrefix and appDirectory from Package. Each host now has a stagingDir attribute to accompany its User attribute. This tells the manager what account to use to copy files and where to put them. Actual install locations and procedures should be handled by the postcopy script. - added Package->certify() method to make this process easier - significant work on the interfaces, which are now called cadmin.pl (command line administrative tool) and gadmin.pl (GUI admin tool). Many functions not yet implemented, but between the two of them, work can be done. - Many minor bugfixes. - The management modules (all *.pm except GUI.pm) are in feature freeze. Only bugfixes will be implemented between now and 2.1. The interfaces are still in active development and quite rough.
