Hi, I have been installing couchdb from source thorough " make/make install " using puppet''s exec. The problem I am facing is when ever i run the configuration for the second time its not recognizing tat its already installed. couchdb is being installed all over again. is it the problem becoz , im not using puppet''s package resource type I thought of a plan in which i can check whether a particular file exists. so if the file doesnt exists, I''ll ask puppet to install it right away. Please help me in this regard. Regards, Bhaskar. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

It''s probably better to make a package instead.

Hi Patrick, You''re right. Actually I have a custom source which i have to install it through source is there any conditional execution like if-case to check whether the source files are already in place?

Re: [Puppet Users] Re: conditional execution of package
Look at the onlyif parameter to exec.
