Your project looks nice!
As I'am reading your code if have a few questions to make sure
i understand the code/flow correctly.
Can you confirm or correct these?

-You get the rss feed of the DSA's you parse it and put it in a table
-Every machine runs an agent which reads a command file somewhere local,
excutes these commands and writes the results in a -results file
-These command and results files are pushed and pulled via scp
-List of current packages on remote machine is obtained via `cat` over
ssh
-(Some) Commands are written in a table , is this only for logging
purposes
-Correlation and overview of machines that are not up to date is done in overview.py
-All update- and process- commands are currently run via cron

Can't wait to join your developing efforts.

Kind regards,

Leo
