[Puppet Users] Install application that isn''t in a package - need a nudge
I apologize in advance - this might be covered elsewhere and I simply lack the vocabulary to find it. I have Puppet 2.7. I have some linux hosts in a sandbox. I have some working modules for cron, files, packages, services. I need to maintain software that isn''t in a package. - I have the .bin from the vendor. - I have the parameters to pass for ''silent'' install. I see that I can use exec function to run the .bin ... but that doesn''t feel like the ''Puppet'' way of doing things. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
