Hi,
I''m working on a module and run into an issue. I would like to install
multiple PHP versions from source. I know the preferred way is packages,
but I don''t want to maintain a custom APT repository. I have two files:
install.pp which does the installation (download, extract, configure, make,
make install) and params.pp which provides parameters.
https://gist.github.com/gergoerdosi/4990967
https://gist.github.com/gergoerdosi/4991012
The first call to php::install::source { ''5.3.21'': } runs
fine, however
when it reaches php::install::source { ''5.4.11'': }, it
downloads 5.3.21
again instead 5.4.11. This is happening because the $url uses $version in
params.pp, which doesn''t get updated on the second call. This an
expected
behavior, but I don''t know how else could I do it. What I want to do is
to
provide parameters for the different PHP versions (different URL, configure
options etc). Any idea? My Puppet version is 2.7.19.

Hi Gerdo, You are on the right track using a define but the problem is one of scope. The version parameter for your define will only get set once in your php::params class because classes are almost singletons in puppet (as in they can exist only once for a node no matter how many times you call them). You will have to set the configure parameters inside your define which will be ugly I know but there isn''t any other way around it. I haven''t used them but inline templates may help alleviate the ugliness. I would also recommend splitting your define out into a separate file so it''s easier to maintain. Hope that helps. Pete.

Hi Pete, I hoped there is a more elegant solution, but looks like there isn''t. :) I can''t test it today, but putting the variables inside define should work indeed. Thanks for the help!

Hi John, This Puppet module will be for a Vagrant development environment for about 5-10 people in our team. Setting up an APT repository and building packages each time there is a new release takes too much time. If we used it on production, I would definitely create packages, but I don''t see the need in this case.

I can''t believe, however, that setting up an APT repository is much harder than setting up a YUM repository, which takes maybe five minutes for the basic setup, and almost no time to add / remove packages. As for building packages, it''s no harder to build packages than to teach Puppet to install the same software from source. You may need to get over a learning curve, but even that may be minimal if you start from existing packaging for some version of the software you want to build. For the cost of a bit of time spent learning a useful skill, you would gain use of packages for managing the software on your systems, which is a big advantage even before Puppet is considered.
