similar to: Creating a manifests ''release'' under SVN; trouble with SVN headers

Hi all I''m working on my modular recursive Makefile & svn-backed home for my Puppet manifests, custom functions, types, etc. So I''m trying to put together individual modules, test targets and so on. I have noticed that the $libdir (and probably the other configuration options too) sources from puppet.conf are not overridden by specifying --libdir=blah on the commmand line

Hi All, I''d like to set up dumping to a file. This file is on a mirrored pool using zfs. It seems that the dump setup doesn''t work with zfs. This worked for both a standard UFS slice and a SVM mirror using zfs. Is there something that I''m doing wrong, or is this not yet supported on ZFS? Note this is Solaris 10 Update 3, but I don''t think that should

Puppeteers, For some reason I have to assign my variable before I include my class for the assignment to ''take''. I though the ordering was immaterial. Am I doing something wrong (again) or is this a funny? ----------------------- This works: <0> sa_dewha@engpsr0000.intranetdev.barcapdev.com (0 jobs)

Hi Luke and other people working on 0.24. I hope this is constructive. So, I have our configuration working against a checkout from git as of last night. Subject to (sorry, here''s the big but :) * external_nodes script is not being called (#951) * Custom types aren''t working unless I drop them into $rubysitedir/puppet/{type,provider}. Previously they worked in

I''m thinking about how to set up the processes for Production puppet runs now. Being ultra-conservative here, we''d like to see what would happen before pressing the red button. I can run in noop mode, and everything is evaluated but nothing is done. A YAML report magically appears on the Puppetmaster which my script parses and spits out something the management can read

Anyone know if it would be straightforward to extract this information from Puppet, probably in a custom function: The classes included as a result of the client''s parsed configuration - or - Am I in class X as a result of my parsed configuration? I''m thinking it would result in a more elegant manifest if classes X and Y behaved differently if they were both included compared

Hi. I''d like to use exception handling in my custom facts. For example, in plain Ruby: begin buildno = '''' bcrelease = open("/etc/BCrelease") while (line = bcrelease.gets) line = line.chomp buildno = $1 if line =~ /^Build:\s+(\d+)/ end bcrelease.close print "#{buildno}\n" rescue print "No

Hi, I'm hopping you can give me some advice, I work for a Financial Institute and we are very interested in implementing Samba as a file server running on AIX 5.3. Before we can think about implementing this we need to no if Samba has any limitation on number of folders, files and shares. The current file storage system is running on Windows 2003 server and has somewhere in the region of

Maybe it works, maybe it doesn''t, but I sure as hell can''t make it work. I get stuck with "Could not find object(s)" whatever I do This is my module init.pp class ztest::setup { notice "MAIN SETUP CLASS" file { directfile: path => "/etc/directfile", owner => root, group => root, mode => 0644, content

I''ve been having great "fun" testing the new (Puppetised) build end-to-end for several days now. The majority of the fun has been coming from vendor packages (no names mentioned), typically with conflicting permissions on files, or perhaps different home directories, UIDs for the app users so it matters in which order you do things in. My current methodology is to go through

Hello, I''m scratching my head as to the best way to plug in a script to do some client configuration. The script is about 40 lines long (full of basic instructions to fiddle with VCS in fact). Lots of execs would seems cumbersome. My thoughts are to simply install this to the client (via the fileserver) and exec out to it. Does this seem sensible? And if so, be aware of things like

Can pxelinux be used to chain other *network* bootloaders directly? I.e., keep the pxe stack but replace itself with an alternate network boot loader (eg, the intel nbp, or, more specificly, an arbitrary bootloader for another OS)? I'm sure this is an obvious FAQ but I can't find reference to it (sorry). Obviously memdisk could be used to load other OSes, but I have been given a strict

Hello all, I''m thinking about a configuration class that, amongst other things execs out to a ''dangerous'' configuration script. I''d like to make this a noop by default, so the operator has to try a bit harder to invoke it. So I thought about doing something like: class blah { exec { danger: noop => true, tag => hitme, command

Hello all, I'm trying to get a specific source file to run at a certain time each day with WindowsScheduler http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/schedule-a-task I've tried a number of methods, none of which work: My best guess was: 1. Associate the script.R file with R in FileTypes. 2. Call the script.R file in the scheduler This definitely opens R, but the source file

What is the view of having / not having global variables in Puppet? Facter variables are global in the sense they are defined in every scope (whereas ''normal'' variables are only available within the scope they are defined in). I could simply add a custom fact for my DoesTheServerNeedASerialConsole flag to Facter, but I''m not 100% sure I should be having the client

Dear R devel, I have a C++ app that calls into embedded R to perform some analytic calculations. When my app encounters a segmentation fault, R always prints the following crash prompt and asks me to enter an action: *** caught segfault *** address 0x8, cause 'memory not mapped' Possible actions: 1: abort (with core dump, if enabled) 2: normal R exit 3: exit R without saving workspace

Hi, Our smbclient calls have started failing on connections to Windows 2008 AD servers. (Previously there were only Windows 2003 Servers, so we had no issues.)

Hi, I'd like to construct an R list object in C++, fill it with relevant data, and pass it to an R function which will return a different list object back. I have browsed through all the R manuals, and examples under tests/Embedding, but can't figure out the correct way. Below is my code snippet: #include <Rinternals.h> // Rf_initEmbeddedR and other setups already performed

There seems to be a rash of posts lately where people are resetting or rebooting without getting any data, so I thought I''d post a quick overview on collecting crash dumps. If you think you''ve got a hang problem with ZFS and you want to gather data for someone to look at, then here are a few steps you should take. If you already know all about gathering crash dumps on

Hi, I have tried to run the ./configure on a HP-UX 10.2 server ( using cc ) and get no further than "Error No locking available. Running Samba would not be safe" From the summary.c program testing for fcntl locks ...... I notice that 10.2 binaries are available so, it must work ... (There is a similar problem mentioned recently
