Puppet users - Oct 2009 - Problem with augeas on Ubuntu 8.04

Did anyone managed to get augeas running on Ubuntu 8.04? I tried for
hours to get it working, but to no avail: No augeas on ubuntu
repository, making from source fails (and the installation procedure
included with augeas doesn''t agree with the file names one can get
from the repositories)...
And of course I failed to find any how-to on the web. The closest one
I found is this:
http://www.mail-archive.com/augeas-devel@redhat.com/msg01076.html

Can someone in the list share his own experience with getting augeas
work with puppet 0.25.1rc2 (or any other) in Ubuntu 8.04?

Thank you very much.

augeas is packaged for things newer than 8.04. I didn''t have any
problem
fetching the newer package source and building on 8.04. Of course, the
grub lenses don''t seem to work, so I gave up, but augeas itself seems
fine.

It was basically as simple as:

  apt-get build-dep augeas
  apt-get source augeas
  cd augeas_0.5.1
  debuild -i -us -uc -b

I am not an Ubuntu user, but I was under the impression that augeas
packages were maintained etc. Nicolas, any idea what''s happening ?

I have finally found time to try it out, but to no avail. Maybe you
were not specific enough about what to do. Using your steps the augeas
compiled fine on Ubuntu 9.04, but it is not the point, because on this
system I could just fetch it from the repository.

The generated .deb files obviously couldn’t be installed on Ubuntu
8.04 due to broken dependencies (e.g. libaugeas0 depends on libc6 (>2.8);
however on Ubuntu 8.04 Version of libc6 is 2.7-10ubuntu5).

Copying the source directory from 9.04 into 8.04 and running from it
“debuild -i -us -uc –b” was not successful due to unsatisfied
dependencies. If I manually loaded required pakages: debhelper (>= 5)
autotools-dev libreadline5-dev chrpath quilt (fortunately all of them
are on repositories) the build failed anyway, after displaying
(…)
./configure --host=i486-linux-gnu --build=i486-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr
--mandir=\${prefix}/share/man --infodir=\${prefix}/share/info
CFLAGS="" --enable-compile-warnings=yes
/bin/sh: ./configure: Permission denied
make: *** [config.status] Error 126
debuild: fatal error at line 1247:

I’m under impression that augeas seems to be important enough
component of puppet to post the problem here.

Maybe someone managed to do it from official augeas source?

Ignoring a minor typo ("_" instead of "-"), those are
exactly the steps
I run on ubuntu 8.04. They depend on having the appropriate deb-src line
listed, but it''s a normal way to backport packages. If you''re
missing
dependencies, than you''re probably not running the build-dep line.

Of course, now that I''ve actually tried using puppet and augeas,
I''ve
discovered I also need the libaugeas-ruby package. It can also be
compiled with the same process.

I''d disagree. I''ve been using puppet for awhile, and
haven''t needed
augeas yet. I''ve just started looking at using it for a couple of
config
files, but it''s hardly critical.

David, 8.04 is LTS and IIRC the maintained packages weren''t introduced 
til 9.04. They will only make it into LTS if they are
''backported''.

Alright, I made the augeas working. The point I have missed is that
one should paste deb-src(...) from Karmic Koala into /etc/apt/
sources.list. I have never before backported anything.

But then there happened another problem: after I install the augeas on
puppet client (not master) and try to run this sample manifest
/etc/puppet/manifests/site.pp:

node default
{

augeas{ "server0":
	context => "/files/etc/hosts",
	changes => [
		"set 4/ipaddr 192.168.0.1",
		"set 4/canonical server0.example.com",
		"set 4/alias[1] server0",
		"set 4/alias[2] puppet-augeas.example.com",
	],
}
}

the puppet displays an error: err: Could not run Puppet configuration
client: Could not find a default provider for augeas

I made a guess that it has something to do with "libaugeas-ruby1.8"
which I haven''t installed (since it is also missing from Hardy
repositories).

I have tried the same backporting procedure seph has written, but
after running debuild -i -us -uc -b inside fetched source directory
the build process failed very fast with a message that "debian/
changelog" is missing (or very similar). Inside that directory there
was no readme nor make, only "rake" file.

I guessed again, that it has something to do with ruby make, so I have
installed it and run it in this source directory wihout any parameters
in a hope to get similar behaviour to make. The rake failed, saying
that there was no "default" task. Also issuing "rake
install" did not
help.

Or maybe I get it all wrong? What should I do to get augeas working?

I use puppet 0.25.1 rc2, augeas 0.5.0 and vanilla ubuntu 8.04 lts

I have submitted my adventures with getting puppet to work with augeas
on Puppet Wiki http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PuppetSource
. I hope it will be of use to someone like me. It took me one week to
figure out what I wrote!...

Unfortunately I can''t fully validate the steps, because it seems there
are some problems with gem servers, and I can''t get any gems from the
net.

Thanks to seph again, without his advices none of it would be written.
