Is there a way to just install the client component of the Puppet gem, install of both on systems that don''t need the server/master component. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

But all decent puppet packages have this separation. I''d highly recommend not using gems. :) -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who don''t have it. -- George Bernard Shaw
Really. I think the *.gem is convenient. However, the args to
install.rb (puppet) don''t seem to indicate one or the other (server/
client):
Usage: install.rb [options]
--[no-]rdoc Prevents the creation of RDoc
output.
Default on.
--[no-]ri Prevents the creation of RI
output.
Default off on mswin32.
--[no-]man Prevents the creation of man
pages.
Default on.
--[no-]tests Prevents the execution of unit
tests.
Default on.
--destdir[=OPTIONAL] Installation prefix for all
targets
Default essentially /
--bindir[=OPTIONAL] Installation directory for
binaries
overrides
Config::CONFIG["bindir"]
--sbindir[=OPTIONAL] Installation directory for system
binaries
overrides
Config::CONFIG["sbindir"]
--sitelibdir[=OPTIONAL] Installation directory for
libraries
overrides
Config::CONFIG["sitelibdir"]
--mandir[=OPTIONAL] Installation directory for man
pages
overrides
Config::CONFIG["mandir"]
--quick Performs a quick installation.
Only the
installation is done.
--full Performs a full installation. All
optional installation steps are
run.
--help Shows this help text.

I guess I''m just a little surprised that install.rb doesn''t have an option to modify the installation, like ./install.rb --client ... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

As such it''s relatively easy to purge the binaries you don''t need - generally on the client those in sbin aren''t required and those in bin are and vice verse on the server. It''d be relatively easy to add such a capability to the install.rb script. If you want that feature please log a ticket.

I can''t find the ticket link.
