Puppet users - Nov 2007 - FreeBSD portsnap class...

I''ve posted a FreeBSD portsnap class for those wanting to automate the
use of portsnap for ports maintenance (fetch, extraction, cron, and  
update).

http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PuppetFreeBSD#portsnap

## EXAMPLE
import ''freebsd.pp''
import ''schedule.pp''

node ''freebsd.local'' {
   include freebsd::portsnap
}
## END

Depends on a schedule ''maint'' that runs once a night and class
freebsd
having $_portsdir set.  I recommend using tricks like the following so  
that you can set $freebsd::portsdir wherever to whatever, if you need  
to.

class freebsd {
   $_portsdir = $portsdir ? { '''' =>
''/usr/ports'', default => $portsdir }
}

schedule { maint:
   range => "1 - 5",
   period => daily,
   repeat => 1
}
