Currently hacking up a prototype of a puppet-like system for automating host setup.

So far I can parse a configuration file, apply rules, handle (manually specified) dependencies, and configure triggers to run on rule-actions.

Not a bad state to be in for a few hours work. Of course the big decision is if I continue, and write modules for doing more than I have right now. I suspect the rational answer should be "no". But I kinda like the existing implementation, and being go it is trivial to install/deploy.
