I have just finished commiting the latest revisions to the PFARS project
CVS up on SourceForge. PFARS prounced 'farce' is the "PFARS For
Automatic Replication System."
PFARS is currently used to handle server replication for
Where2GetIt.com's LVS cluster. It has been in the production environment
for over 2 months so we are pretty confident with the code stability. We
decided to open source this program under the GPL to give back to the
community that provided us with so many other great FREE tools that we
could not run our business without (especially LVS). It is written in
Perl and uses rsync over SSH to replicate server file systems. It also
natively supports Debian Package replication.
Although the current version number is 0.8.1 it's not quite ready for
release yet. It is seriously lacking in documentation and there is no
installation procedure yet. Also in the future we would like add support
for RPM based linux distros, many more replication stages, and support
for restarting server processes when certain files are updated. If
anyone would like to contribute to this project in any way do not be
afraid to email me directly our join the development mailing list at
pfars-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Please visit the project page at http://sourceforge.net/projects/pfars/
and check it out. You will need to check it out from CVS as there are no
files released yet. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
Thank You!
