Hello,
I am running puppet server version 0.25.4-2, and since Debian squeeze
is the new stable release I would like to adapt some of my modules.
I have a syslog-ng module, I would like to specify another template
for my squeeze server.
I changed my init.pp as follow :
if ($operatingsystemrelease <= 5.0.8) {
$syslog_template = "syslog/syslog-ng.conf.erb"
}
else {
$syslog_template = "syslog/syslog-ng.conf-squeeze.erb"
}
[...]
file { "/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf":
ensure => present,
mode => 644,
owner => root,
group => root,
content => template($syslog_template),
notify => service[syslog-ng],
}
I try this configuration thanks to the following post :
http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/browse_thread/thread/33bafb3fff10171f
But it doesn''t work. My old client are still using
"syslog/syslog-
ng.conf.erb" and I don''t get any error message.
Maybe the puppet server is too old version for using facter
operatingsystemrelease ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards

If it doesn''t give output, try "factor" by itself and see if you have a typo in the name for the fact. I would guess that it''s not giving a version number, or giving one different from what you expect. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Note that facts can be different between different versions of facter (don''t get me started on the old lsbdistid etc.) However, I suspect your error is rooted elsewhere.

Hello, thank you for the anwser. I try to run facter on both servers here it what I get : ~ # facter operatingsystemrelease 5.0.8 ~ $ facter operatingsystemrelease 6.0 So far no issues. Maybe in my if statement I should use " " ? Is there a way to print somewhere the value of the variables in order to be sure of what is return ? If not i''ll try to use versioncmp.

Hello,
I found the solution thanks to your help :
if versioncmp($operatingsystemrelease, ''5.0.8'') > 0 {
$syslog_template = "syslog/syslog-ng.conf-squeeze.erb"
}
else
{
$syslog_template = "syslog/syslog-ng.conf.erb"
}
and I add in my class :
notify { "OS release detected as
''$operatingsystemrelease''": }
notify { "template detected as
''$syslog_template''": }
It works
Thank you !
Hugo
