Puppet users - Aug 2010 - install package based on operatingsystem AND operatingsystemrelease

How can I create a class to install a RPM based on the o/s type and
the o/s release.
I want to install a package on SLES, but only if it''s release 11, not
10.

I can do this, but how do I incorporate the release in here... thanks
in advance!

class packages1 {
        $lsb = $operatingsystem ? {
                OEL => redhat-lsb,
                SLES => lsb,
                default => redhat-lsb
        }
        package { $lsb:
                ensure => installed
        }

}

Try using a nested selector in the package name selector, and setting 10 
=> "absent".

I suppose you can write nested if statements. Not sure if there are other
more elegant methods. Assuming facter $operatingsystemrelease for SLES 11
returns 11.x,  is this what you are looking for?

$os_release = "${operatingsystem}-${operatingsystemrelease}"

$pkg = ${os_release} ? {
  /^OEL-/ =>  redhat-lsb,
  /^SLES-11./ =>  lsb,
  default =>  redhat-lsb,
}

package { $pkg:
  ensure => installed,
}

Thanks,

Nan

Won''t that try to install ''redhat-lsb'' on SLES 10 ?

I think you want

ensure => undef

for SLES 10 if you truly want to not manage it.

I tend to be more of a fan of explicit conditional statements outside
resource definitions these days, nested selectors are harder to parse
quickly, and now we have decent conditional logic, it''s much easier.

I''ve been doing like this. (Don''t know if it is the better
ways.. but.. :))

if ($operatingsystemrelease >= 4) and ($operatingsystemrelease < 5) {
 $release = "el4"
}
else {
 if ($operatingsystemrelease >= 5) and ($operatingsystemrelease < 6) {
$release = "el5"
 }
}

package { abc: ensure => "0.25.5-1.${release}" }

PS.: I am running puppet 0.25.x in 2.6 I believe there is a elsif or
something like that...

Yes, that''s wrong. Originally, I wanted to set /^SLES-10/ to something
standard that comes with the distro, but didn''t seem like the right
solution, and leaving out that line ended up with something that''s
definitely incorrect.

I did some testing, undef doesn''t appear to work since ensure is a
required
parameter and undef is not a valid value. Setting package ensure=>undef will
install the package rather than unmanaged. I guess absent would be
acceptable?

package { $pkg:
  ensure =>  ${os_release} ?
    /^SLES-10/ = absent,
    default => installed,
  }
}

Nan

Here''s how I do it.


if ( $operatingsystem == "SLES" ) and ( $operatingsystemrelease
="10" ){
        include SLES_10
    }

if ( $operatingsystem == "SLES" ) and ( $operatingsystemrelease
="11" ){
        include SLES_11
    }


Of course run facter to check the variables. But you get the idea.
