Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands (e-mail: . ANDRES LOH. Utrecht University, The Netherlands (e-mail: NICOLAS PIERRON. (e-mail: Abstract Existing package and system configuration management tools suffer from an imperative model, where system administration actions such as package upgrades or changes to system configuration files are stateful: they destructively update the state of the system. This leads to many problems, such as the inability to roll back changes easily, to deploy multiple versions of a package side-by-side, to reproduce a configuration deterministically on another machine, or to reliably upgrade a system.)))
