Puppet users - Nov 2011 - Uninstall Puppet and Facter from OSX

Hi folks,

I''m a new Mac user and a while ago I installed puppet (2.6.7) + facter 
(1.5.8) from tarballs provided by puppetlabs.com on my Lion machine.

Now, I''d like to go for gem install and get puppet 2.7, but
I''m not sure
if I need to remove the puppet I''ve got installed right now before
doing so.

Thanks for your time,

You should, yes.

I''d actually suggest the best thing to do is to run
"conf/osx/createpackage.sh" to generate a proper Mac pkg out of the
tarball. That will do some extra things like set up the right directory
ownership for you.

The previous install.rb install should have put files into:

/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/puppet*
/usr/bin/puppet*
/usr/bin/filebucket
/usr/bin/pi
/usr/bin/ralsh
/usr/sbin/puppet*

and removing all those should effectively remove the install.

Thanks Nigel, I''ve followed your suggestion and now I''m

PS I wasn''t able to find the createpackage.sh script you suggested
though

As createpackage has not been updated for quite some time, an
alternative method of generating the package has been developed.  It
utilizes Apple''s Developer Tools/GCC and a project called the Luggage,
which in turn uses make to generate the package. It also can be
dynamically fed new version numbers, for both Puppet and Facter.

https://github.com/unixorn/luggage-examples/tree/master/facter

If you are deploying it using a patch management tool like Munki
(munki.googlecode.com), it can use the proper protocol of querying the
receipt db and therefore remove all the bits and pieces that were
installed based upon their bill of materials.

Just to add some clarity,

The createpackage.sh script in conf/osx actually works quite well,
regardless of how old it is.  Untar or git clone Puppet from source, make
sure you''re in the root of the directory, and run:

sudo conf/osx/createpackage.sh

That should build a package for you and place it in the same directory
(puppet-2.7.7.pkg).

I initially created the recipe in The Luggage as a proof of concept so I
could build multiple packages from different Puppet versions, and it works
quite well for that, but you should find it much easier to use the package
bundled with source.  Let us know if you have any issues :)

Cheers!

Cool! I suggest you to somehow make this visible from the puppetlabs 
download page, maybe just a link to the github sources or something, 
otherwise I think the "mean" user as the one I am will always be
unaware
of this and that''s a shame.

PS I went for gem install and everything is working OK now, next time 
I''ll try the createpackage.sh solution for sure.

Have a nice day,
