hi, i''ve run into somewhat of a snag with my puppet instances: when i try to have puppet install a port via portupgrade, it seems to step up each version in ports to the latest, if there are multiple versions. i''ve run into this with two ports so far: vim and postfix. my package line is: package { postfix: ensure => latest } i am however able to specify the version

The included patch is what I''ve been able to throw together in a few hours after studying the pkgtools code. All I''m using the library for at the moment is to resolve the proper base location of the ports tree, but at least by invoking make directly instead of through portupgrade it works *a lot* better. Is there a proper way to include/require a third party ruby library?

my ports database seems to have become broken. I'm running -stable, but haven't rebuilt the system in a year or so (I know, security vulerabilities, but the box has been shelved in this time). anyhow, at this point, I can't do even a make clean in ports, or build portupgrade. I fetched portupgrade with pkg_add hoping that running pkgdb -F would sort things out, but it errors with: **

Hi all, I’m exploring puppet for first time, trying to see if I can simplify my sysadmin tasks. So I decided to install it on FreeBSD 7 beta 3 and play with it, using another host as a server (Debian 4). As you can imagine I’m stuck. Here’s an excerpt of my super trivial manifest file: > node ''puppetclient.refactor.it'' { > package { > apache20: > ensure

I am running 4.8-STABLE. I recently did a cvsup (repeatedly, most recently today). Ever since, portupgrade dies with the following messages: zircon# portupgrade -r pkgconfig /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/pkgdb.rb:310:in `deorigin': failed to convert nil into String (PkgDB::DBError) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/pkgdb.rb:903:in `tsort_build' from

Hi all, Having a bit of a problem with portupgrade on a -STABLE machine: [root@erwin]/root: portupgrade -aRn ---> Session started at: Tue, 27 May 2003 22:54:00 +1000 closed stream ---> Session ended at: Tue, 27 May 2003 22:54:01 +1000 (consumed 00:00:01) [root@erwin]/root: pkgdb -F does the same thing. Any clues? cheers, Rob [root@erwin]/root: uname -a FreeBSD erwin.number6

Hi, I am running an environment with 15 FreeBSD servers on which I want to maintain ports, rc.conf settings, and assorted configuration in /usr/local/etc/. Looked around the existing Puppet docs, I got a puppetmaster and a test client to work and install a package as specified in the site manifest. This is very basic but awesome! I want to create a puppet FreeBSD HowTo that addresses a

I have the following test case: file { sendmail-conf: path => "/etc/mail/${fqdn}.mc", owner => "root", group => "wheel", mode => 0644, links => follow, source => "puppet:///sendmail/${hostname}.mc" } $mail_dir = "/etc/mail" $cf_dir = "/usr/share/sendmail/cf/" exec { build-conf: command => "/usr/bin/m4

Has anyone given any thought to using DNS for node information rather than LDAP? You see, I already have all my nodes defined... in BIND ;-). Perhaps something like: foo IN A 10.178.10.1 IN TXT "puppetclass=<class_name>" IN TXT "puppetclass=<class_name>" . . . Ad nauseam -- Russell A.

Hi again, From examples I have gleaned the following snippet for manifests/site.pp Package { provider => $operatingsystem ? { FreeBSD => freebsd, #FreeBSD => ports, debian => aptitude, redhat => up2date }} Are there providers documented somewhere? I''m not sure where to look, and I haven''t come across it in my

Are exec resources triggered by notify events supposed to be run once for every event received or only run once per run irregardless of the number of resources that notified it? It seems to me that it gets run twice no matter how many resources triggered it. consider the following class: class dhcp { $prefix = "/usr/local/etc/dhcpd" $dhcpd_conf = "$prefix/dhcpd.conf"

New user trying to get a port to compile: I tried searching but all I get are links to the FreeBSD port of puppet. Easier to find a needle in a haystack. A class has: exec { "port-sudo": cwd => "/usr/ports/security/sudo", environment => "BATCH=yes", command => ''/bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/make

Is there any "correct" way to get puppetmasterd to not spam syslog with (mount[blah]) File source foo does not exist messages when using file source selection lists? I use them quite extensively, so it''s getting quite out of hand. The last resort will be to comment out the offending print statement! -- Russell A.

After reading the rc.subr(8) man page and Newburns''s article on the rc.d subsystem[1], It''s clear that a rc.conf.d per service file structure is already natively supported on FreeBSD. I''ve verified this with my own testing: # echo puppetmasterd_enable=\"YES\" > /etc/rc.conf.d/puppetmasterd # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/puppetmasterd start Performing sanity check

hi,all I want set up a puppet HA structure. but if the puppetd can set more than one server address ,the work will be simple :D if one puppetmaster have error, the client can auto try the next. I think I can use the heartbeat or dns to do this same thing,but not so good. so I want know the puppetd can direct set in the configure file ? if not,will be add this option? -- Huang

does anybody have the same problem as I have : (running CURRENT, but the problem occurs on STABLE too) latest portupgrade, ports cvsuped today. fully reproductible with any package... am i missing something ? i hope yes... portinstall -PP teTeX ---> Checking the availability of the latest package of 'print/teTeX' ---> Fetching the package(s) for 'teTeX-2.0.2_2'

I am consistently getting the following error from puppetd when an exec resource is triggered by a refresh event: Apr 23 10:36:11 mailhub puppetd[37884]: Reopening log files Apr 23 10:36:11 mailhub puppetd[37884]: Starting Puppet client version 0.22.3 Apr 23 10:36:11 mailhub puppetd[37884]: Starting configuration run Apr 23 10:36:12 mailhub puppetd[37884]:

Folks, I have installed puppet my network and it works great .. I have configured it such a way that when I make changes in the server source fiels..it gets updated in teh puppet clients. As the document reads the puppet clients checks for any changes from the server every 30 mins. But is there is any opiton of changing this value to lesser time .. say 15 mins .. or is there opiton for the

Hello, I have two Vmware images, with 256MB of RAM memory each one, running puppetmasterd for the server and puppetd for the client. It''s normal that my puppetmasterd and puppetd occupies almost 10% of RAM memory each one? They aren''t doing anything especial, just listening on the ports. Thanks.

Hi I am trying to push populate /home & subdirectories from the puppet server to all the Linux clients. I managed this with cfengine using rsync. But I am not sure how do I achieve this in puppet, do we have any inbuilt function for this. Also, is there a function for userdel like for useradd (user) groupadd(group). Any suggestion is appreciated. -- Deepak
