Hello Folks,
     I have just pushed the starcluster plugin I was working on to a
project on git. This is where I will push any plugins I add:

http://github.com/godber/starcluster-extras

There is only one plugin at the moment, the README is fairly
descriptive, but to save you from clicking, what it does is provides a
way to automatically install packages on cluster nodes. Rather than
specifying the package in a plugin configuration list (like the sample
plugin) I wrote a wrapper script, 'cluster-install', that you use to
install packages on the cluster ... this will install the packages on
all of the nodes, as well as record the set of packages on the cluster
in /home/.starcluster-packages. This file will be used to setup the
nodes on the next cluster launch.

For those who are interested, I'd be happy to discuss it more. Email me
or the list.

Austin
