Hi again,
From examples I have gleaned the following snippet for manifests/site.pp
Package { provider => $operatingsystem ? {
FreeBSD => freebsd,
#FreeBSD => ports,
debian => aptitude,
redhat => up2date }}
Are there providers documented somewhere? I''m not sure where to look,
and I haven''t come across it in my stumbling, googling, mailing list
lurking or docs.puppetlabs.com.
Importantly, what is the exact behaviour of FreeBSD => freebsd versus =>
ports? I can see that => ports uses /usr/ports (which I can NFS mount
for management gains), and => freebsd uses a specified host (or defaults
to freebsd.org), but I''d really like to see the doco, or at least
someone''s overview understanding. Can any of you help me?
Cheers,
Greg.

I''ve settled upon portupgrade as the best provider, since I can use it to build from the NFS mounted /usr/ports tree. Now I am experiencing a quirk when a package is to be newly installed: ''ensure => installed'' or ''ensure => present'' results in the package being installed as expected. http://pastebin.com/sdH8F7p1 ''ensure => latest'' yields no change. For the sample package net/rsync: http://pastebin.com/HsEaGDRa The key difference being on line 4 of the paste: installed: portinstall latest: pkg_info pkg_info is _not_ going to install the packages! Can anyone help me with this? Cheers, Greg. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

So I''ll investigate some sort of uninstall->reinstall process when I want to push out upgrades. http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/show/14845 http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/show/5951 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
