Abstract

Les developpements logiciels sur les systemes UNIX font de plus en plus appel aux logiciels libres. Nous proposons une solution de deploiement et de controle de ces logiciels libres au sein d'une grande organisation. Nous nous attachons particulierement a resoudre les problemes lies au deploiement multi-sites ainsi qu'a la gestion de configuration de ces deploiements. L'originalite de notre approche repose sur sa capacite a etre mise en oeuvre et controlee par les utilisateurs plutot que par les administrateurs, sans necessiter d'expertise particuliere, et par les possibilites de deploiement dans des environnements heterogenes. ----- Free and open source software is more and more used for software developments on UNIX systems. We are proposing a solution to control the deployment of free software in the context of a large corporation, focusing on multi-site deployment and configuration management. The originality of our approach rests on its ability to be implemented and controlled by users rather than administrators, without requiring any particular expertise, and on its facility to be deployed in heterogeneous environments.
