Hello,
there any reason not to configure debian alternatives this way?
file {
"/etc/alternatives/java":
ensure => "/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java";
}
appart from using non-free software

You should always use update-alternatives rather than manipulating the file system to change alternative selections. -- Russ Allbery (rra@stanford.edu) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
