Ok so I setup /etc/puppet/ to auto extracted from this svn each 5
minutes. I have added the cronjob in puppet, as well as the key of
severine, and a basic openssh module.  

For people who want to commit, connect on krampouezh.mageia.org, create
yourself a account ( until we migrate to ldap for this ) and you can
then checkout/commit on it. 

We will need to add the ntp setup, some MTA, ( maybe the timezone so we
will not have issue for the next server ) and then once we have a basic
MTA, a svn hook to send commit mail here.

Again, if you have any question, do not hesitate.

I used a too complex setup with numerous empty directory, so I guess no,
I only found bad example :p 
To me, the current one ( manifests for the configure file, and modules/
for modules ) is fine at the moment.

I suggest that we first become used to puppet and then decide how to
split, if needed.

I like the idea of having a directory nodes, with one file per node, and
for the rest, I do not think it is worth the added complexity at the
moment.
