Anyone ever migrated the puppetca to a different host? What are the steps that are involved?

I was wondering if there would be any benefit to the general community if I made available a debian and ubuntu repository of up to date puppet packages. I have the infrastructure in place anyway for my work (pbuilder + falcon), and can quite easily run up a vhost on a VM somewhere. Debian Etch (4.0) for example has puppet 0.20.1, and will never get a newer version. Ubuntu Feisty has a newer

I have a "search" action for my "projects" controller, which defines a set of projects as follows @projects = Project.find(:all, :include => [:user,:clients], :conditions => "name like ''%" + params[:query] + "%''",:order => ''number'') This works fine, until I type an entry into my search box that has a single

Can anyone help me find a code coverage tool in ruby? What I want is: given a set of tests that I run, what lines of my code and what routines are covered. And also a list of uncovered routines and tests. I couldn''t find an open source one out there... -- www.kenlet.com

Hello there. Just to let you know i have just put in production mode puppet on 41 freeBSD 4.7 virtual servers (yes not real servers but "jailed ones"). I had some little problems with facter at first but i have manualy upgraded the servers that where affected by the little "facter does not read his facts" problem i had. I should have missed something in my deploiement.

I''m currently coding a system which must store multiple contact methods for a user (phone, email, postal address etc). I''m planning a fairly straightforward inheritance hierachy for these, where each different method inherits from something like a ContactMethod class. The only mention of ActiveRecord support for inheritance I can find in the Wiki and the Agile Web Dev book is

So when puppetd crashes/whatever, and a pid file is left behind, SMF in Solaris will try restarting puppet, but fail. And then it sits there restarting it forever. I''m not sure if I can adjust the flap detection in SMF.. it isn''t disabling the service for "restarting too quickly" because it takes so long to start. Probably because I''m NFS-mounting ruby. The

Hi, I just want to know what the state of the Debian packages is? I''ve downloaded (and is currently testing with) the packages from http:// reductivelabs.com/downloads/packages/Debian/ They seem to miss some important stuff such as init scripts and puppetrun, and they hasn''t all the dependencies defined (eg. ruby). From the info part of the packages I can''t see

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:

Hi there I would like to setup my puppetmasterd behind my ADSL modem and manage the nodes on the hosting sites. I can imagine opening ports to the puppetmasterd server will work. Am I right? On the other hand an ideal configuration for me would be a Reverse Proxy setup, so I don''t have to touch the ADSL router. Has anyone setup a puppetmasterd behind a reverse proxy? Any pointers,

I just made a rails application that I plan to sell and dsitribute. I want to distribute it without having to worry about someone stealing the code and selling their own version. How do I do this? Is there a ruby obfuscator or anything that can keep someone from seeing the code? Thanks for your help. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

i was looking at the simple text recipes wiki: http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/SimpleTextRecipes and based on that wrote something that can ensure a certain variable in a config file is set to a specific value, using a specific delimiter as requested (defaults to a space). this seems to work great at managing all sorts of unix and mac config files (sshd_config, hostconfig on macs).

Hi everyone, Already in the span of a week or so I''ve learned exponentially from your collective minds. So, first off, thanks for being such a good community. In addition to everything here i''m wondering what the top RoR-related blogs are - abundant with content and frequently updated. Are there any that would be consensus among rails enthusiasts?
