Git and Changelogs
The directory of "/var/lib/bcfg2" is controlled by a git repository. After every change, please run the command:
git commit -am "Commit Message"
This will allow us to track changes to the BCFG2 repository.
Adding Servers
To add a new client to bcfg2, modify "/var/lib/bcfg2/Metadata/clients.xml and add an entry similar to the one below:
<Client profile="primary-group" pingable="Y" pingtime="0" name="hostname" />
The hostname should match the first entry in /etc/hosts for that builder. This is because the reverse lookup of the IP address of this host should match the hostname given in clients.xml. The entry "primary-group" should be a builder model, either trimslice, efika, guruplug or panda.
