Puppet users - Mar 2010 - installing packages "the batch mode"

Hello,

currently I''m using the following lines to install a lot of packges
using Puppet:

   package {"screen": ensure => present }
   package {"sysstat": ensure => present }
   package {"rkhunter": ensure => present }
   package {"vim-enhanced": ensure => present }
   package {"wget": ensure => present }
   package {"w3m": ensure => present }
   package {"links": ensure => present }
   package {"dmidecode": ensure => present }
   package {"mtr": ensure => present }
   package {"mutt": ensure => present }
   package {"rsync": ensure => present }
   package {"lm_sensors": ensure => present }
   package {"htop": ensure => present }
   package {"iperf": ensure => present }
   package {"ntsysv": ensure => present }
   package {"sendmail": ensure => present }
   package {"sendmail-cf": ensure => present }
   package {"telnet": ensure => present }
   package {"nrpe": ensure => present }
   package {"nagios-plugins-all": ensure => present }
   package {"xinetd": ensure => present }
   package {"munin-node": ensure => present }

Reading some docs I found that is possible to create an array in
Puppet manifest files. Now my question: How can I use
an array to install all those packages ? Is there a easy way to do that?
Package list:  "screen  sysstat  rkhunter  vim-enhanced  wget  w3m
links  dmidecode  mtr  mutt  rsync  lm_sensors  htop  iperf  ntsysv
sendmail  sendmail-cf  telnet  nrpe  nagios-plugins-all  xinetd
munin-node"

Thanks!!!

did you try :

package { ["screen", "sysstat", .... ,
"munin-node"]:
     ensure => present
}

?

Yes.  The documentation showing how is here:

    http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/language_tutorial.html

Specifically:

    package { ["screen", "sysstat"]: ensure => present }

        Daniel

package{[''package1'', ''package2'' ]: ensure
=> present }

but note: this does not install all packages in one shot unless #2198  
[1] is implemented. However it still makes your manifests much more  
readable.

Hello Nicolas,

I''ll try this solution!

I tried something like:

$packs =
["screen","sysstat","rkhunter","vim-enhanced","wget","w3m","links","dmidecode","mtr","mutt","rsync","lm_sensors","htop","iperf","ntsysv","sendmail","sendmail-cf","telnet","nrpe","nagios-plugins-all","xinetd","munin-node"]

package { $packs:
   ensure => present
}

Without success :(
