[Puppet Users] Puppet RPMs found on Red Hat Network Satellite and RH FTP site
I found this almost completely by accident:
<0> sa_dewha@engpsr0000.etf.barcapetf.com (0 jobs)
/var/satellite/redhat/NULL/puppet-server/0.24.6-3.el5/noarch
% l
total 36K
drwxr-xr-x 2 apache root 4.0K Feb 5 01:55 ./
drwxr-xr-x 3 apache root 4.0K Feb 5 01:55 ../
-rw-r----- 1 apache root 26K Feb 4 16:03 puppet-
server-0.24.6-3.el5.noarch.rpm
Likewise I also found the puppet RPM for 0.24.6. In the GUI:
puppet-server-0.24.6-3.el5.noarch.rpm

Only downside is that when I log into RHN "Hosted" (i.e. their
publicly-facing Satellite rather than our internal one which merely
syncs from it) I can''t find the MRG channels. Even though we sync
them successfully every night.
Anyhow, very interesting, no?
And looky here:
http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/RHEMRG/SRPMS/
http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/RHEMRG/SRPMS/puppet-0.24.6-3.el5.src.rpm
No "binary" package unfortunately, but that''s just standard
RH
practice. Source and debuginfo pacakge (n/a for Ruby progs obviously)
are available from ftp.redhat.com but binary (incl noarch) comes from
Satellite.
Incidentally for the curious, the local RH-mod (at revision 3 as
above) is just a patch to the init script for RHEL4. Plus some RPM
post script work. I have to say all of the pidof type stuff improved
dramatically in RHEL5.
MRG - "Messaging, Realtime, Grid". Puppet being particularly suitable
for configuring Grid machines. So not quite RH core but RH-provided,
certainly. Supported? Who knows.
Happy Puppeteering,
Derek

Who knows.MRG is what the marketing folks call a ''layered product'', i.e. something that you''ll have to buy in addition to RHEL subscriptions. And as you suspect, it uses puppet for configuring grids. If you don''t have a separate MRG subscription, you''ll be just as supported with the EPEL puppet RPM''s as with the ones for MRG (IOW, not at all :( ) I''d recommend sticking with the EPEL packages, simply since there are more and more varied uses (and therefore more testing) of them than for the MRG stuff - even if the MRG packages are, for all intents and purposes, identical to the EPEL ones; and we''ll definitely push any bugs and bug fixes for MRG back upstream.

Didn''t know MRG used puppet for configuration, but it makes a whole lot of sense to do so :) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
