Patch: update popt/ to 1.5.1
...endor drop. The only change is the inclusion of a FreeBSD-specific patch to popt.c. This is needed in case somebody decides to build rsync on that platform without using the port. I'm not happy about the wording in popt/README.rsync so I may change it. The patch is available at http://www.catnook.com/rsync-popt-1.5.1.patch Comments welcome! (Note that I will be losing DSL connectivity for a week any moment now while I switch providers.) -- Jos Backus _/ _/_/_/ Santa Clara, CA _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/...

[PATCH] facter: add interfaces, default_gateway facts on Linux
...work so we have interface names like `eth0'', `bond0'' and `bond0.401''. Is the best practice to create facts such as `mac_address[bond0.401]''? These facts would allow us to verify that a given machine has the proper interface configuration. -- Jos Backus jos at catnook.com

gem provider non-interactive
Hi, I was wondering if there is any of getting the gem package provider to run non-interactively? When upgrading mongrel it fails because it gets prompted for which version to install: Attempting remote update of mongrel Select which gem to install for your platform (x86_64-linux) 1. mongrel 1.1.1 (ruby) 2. mongrel 1.1.1 (jruby) 3. mongrel 1.1.1 (mswin32) 4. mongrel 1.1 (mswin32) 5.

Updated ssh-agent authentication retry patch available
...ion retry mechanism which is useful when starting many ssh clients in a short period of time. The number of retries and the maximum delay between retries is runtime-configurable using AuthMaxRetries <integer> AuthRetryDelay <seconds> The patch is available at: http://www.catnook.com/patches/openssh-3.2.3p1-auth-retry.patch While I have no hopes of this being merged into the main OpenSSH distribution, perhaps other people may find it useful.

Patch to update the included popt to 1.6.4
http://www.catnook.com/patches/rsync-popt-1.6.4.patch has a patch which upgrades the popt included with rsync to the latest version, 1.6.4. The configure script had to be regenerated (with autoconf 2.53) because popt.c wants HAVE_FLOAT_H. As an aside, I have heard people complain about this version of autoconf gener...

Update included popt to version 1.7

End of file and other errors: solution
For anyone that has experienced the odd End of file or Cannot describe errors, we''ve found that switching to Mongrel has fixed this problem for us. We''re currently running 5 instance of puppetmaster under mongrel (with the apache proxy in front) and things are going great. For more information on setting up Mongrel, visit:

Why not ignore stale PID files?
Hi, I have an application which is dying horrible deaths (i.e. segmentation faults) in mid-flight, in production... And of course, I should fix it. But while I find and fix the bugs, I found something I think should be different - I can work on submitting a patch, as it is quite simple, but I might be losing something on my rationale. When Mongrel segfaults, it does not -obviously- get to clean

Does Puppet ensure that a service is up and running?
Just curious as to the functionality of puppet. Does Puppet ensure that a service is up and running as long as puppet is running? Ie, I want to make sure ssh is always running, if for some reason ssh get''s shut down, does puppet start it back up when it does it''s config sync run?

property.rb moved between 0.22 and 0.23?
...location of property.rb changing between 0.22.4 (puppet/type/property.rb) and 0.23.2-ish (puppet/property.rb). (I say 0.23.2-is because I''m using 40491ebe7ca9692b57fb533412ece8fb694b7d4c since it only has a few extra bugfixes over 0.23.2. Maybe I''m wrong.) -- Jos Backus jos at catnook.com

Unsynchronized object state detection
...ify on a per-object basis that Puppet should merely report that an object needs to be updated without actually performing the update? This would make it possible to detect changes to critical objects (e.g. config files) that Puppet shouldn''t try to fix automaticaly. -- Jos Backus jos at catnook.com

Trailing commas [best practice survey]
I''m sure everyone has read and committed the Puppet Best Practice to memory by now (I joke). One of the things I''ve written in there deals with trailing commas, which I adopted from the way I used to do multiline in Perl, but I''ve noticed that most people don''t tend to do that in Puppet. Should I revise this or should we all start using the trailing commas?

puppet thinks yum fails when it doesn't
Hi all, Not sure if this is a bug in puppet, yum, or just something I''m doing wrong. I''m trying to use puppet to update a package to a particular version and exec a command when that update is applied. The problem is, puppet calls yum which successfully updates the package, but puppet then thinks the update has failed and hence doesn''t trigger the exec. Next

Central principal->user@host management?

rsync and missing files?
(The list archiving site appears to be down -- sorry if this is answered there...) I'm using rsync to perform backups to an rsync daemon as follows: /usr/local/bin/rsync -az --delete $X user@1.2.3.4::backup/current One of those $X's is /home, which contains a few thousand maildir's. Trouble arises when attempting to copy files that are quickly moved. (eg, when someone initiates a

Using -F and -f
Hi all, I'm interesting in using -F and -f options to generate delta files to transfer to other computers not connected by network. I'm using cygwin whit rsync version 2.5.5 protocol 26, but even if those options are explaned, I can't use them. So I downloaded source for rsync+ but I'm not able to compile it because I have this error messages. $ make all gcc -I. -I. -g -O2
