hi guys, I''m a newbie so please be gentle. ;) I''m running puppet on gentoo with the modules from example42. They seem to work well but I''m running into a problem with the way gentoo does certain packages. Redhat and other distros seem to bundle the mysql or openssh packages in mysql-client and mysql-server or openssh- clients openssh-server. so, when I try to use these modules, it fails because gentoo only has one package for both clients and servers: mysql or openssh. I tried to gentooify the module like this: class puppet::master inherits puppet { # We need rails for storeconfigs include rails package { puppet-server: name => $operatingsystem ? { default => "puppet-server", gentoo => "puppet", }, alias => puppetmasterd, ensure => present; but, of course, the puppet package is already defined in the ''puppet'' class what is a newbie to do? I looked in the puppet users archive but didn''t find any answers, maybe I''m not searching on the right thing.(?) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
