I have just tried to install puppet 0.24.8 as a gem on a clean Debian Lenny system. The puppetd script is not added to my path. Is this a bug or have I made a mistake? Full transcript attached.

Grab the .diff from the 0.24.7 debian package Apply the .diff Fix any conflicts from the .diff Make any changes you want (like removing the potentially toxic "-w 0") Hack up the debian/* files a bit, adding a changelog entry to get the right version # in place. dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot The difference between this, and what a real maintainer does, is that a real maintainer has a deep understanding of how the package at hand fits together with the rest of the Debian world, and makes additional changes (and performs additional testing etc.) to "Debianize" the package more. -- Kyle Cordes http://kylecordes.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Here''s what I did: 1. Grab the source tarballs for 0.24.7 and 0.24.8. Untar the 0.24.7 tarball and then rename the tarball to 0.24.7.orig.tar.gz 2. Grab the debian directory for 0.24.7 from git (git clone git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-puppet/puppet.git) and put it in the 0.24.7 source tree. 3. cd in to the 0.24.7 source tree, and do a dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot 4. run ''uupdate -u puppet-0.24.8.tgz'', and then cd into the newly created 0.24.8 source tree 5. tweak the debian/control and sub root''s name for yours, and run dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot again to create the 0.24.8 package.

Although, it doesn''t work when there are sufficiently complex diff''s. Luckily, it''s always worked for Puppet on my end. The Debian New Maintainers'' Guide has a blurb about it: http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ch-update.en.html Glad to have imparted the knowledge unto others that was once imparted unto me. :) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Kyle, Ryan, I''d love it if those instructions made it into the Wiki. The uupdate thing would be hugely helpful to some other Debian administrators, I''m sure.
