Package Mgmt vs. Config Mgmt
need to improve communication between package mgmt and config mgmt
packages need to encode the following:
- build-time options used to create the package
(e.g., what paths were hard-coded?
what modules was Apache built with?)
- what external configuration is needed in order for the package to be installed?
(e.g., prerequisite packages? create user/group? install default config file? run initialization command?)
