Remote administration of packages
Hello,
I'm searching for a software package to remotely administer
apt-get. For example select which packages to be installed on a certain
host or group of hosts, so that those packages are automaticly
installed.
This would be handy if you got multiple computers to manage and
want to install or delete a software package. Or install a
new version of a certain package because of a bugfix.
A possible way would be to write a script that uses ssh to start
apt-get on the remote host, but this wouldn't be of much use when the
hosts are turned off.
Red carpet seems to be an option, but i couldn't find out if it
works with apt repositories. Did anyone use red carpet on Debian in a
multi computer enviroment? Or are there any apt specific tools?
Thanks,
Bob
