hello, i wondered if it would not be interesting to have some filters function in puppet like filter_integer(), filter_prelregex, filter_text, filter_email or such so we can validate and make our defines a little more foolproof :) i particulary see filter_regex as usefull in quite a lot of exec that manipulates text files. What do you think about this ? -- Cordialement, Ghislain

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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:

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

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 would like to write up brief tutorial/documentation on how to manage /etc/passwd using puppet. While this may seem pretty straight forward to some...the documentation is not. We have been able to create a manifest that defines all of our users "virtually" and are able to "realize" users and add them to the system(s) running puppetd. Is there a way to simply realize all users

I''m working with a pretty simple config at the moment to track down some issues I''m seeing with custom facts and plugins. I have factsync = true (default locations) and I have a simple fact in /var/lib/puppet/facts/ (actually it''s David''s netmask plugin) my pp file I''m testing with contains only: notice "netmask: ${netmask}" puppet -v

Let me summarize the bug reported by Ulf Martin on R-help with the same subject line. The code plot(1:10) text(1, 9, expression(F == bgroup("{", x, ""))) results in greek letters, which is not expected here. That happens if the user tries to set only a left delimeter, the same with: text(2, 8, expression(F == bgroup("{", x, "."))) or

I've just discovered the recent addition of the comment.char arg to scan, a useful feature no doubt but the default value of # rather than "" breaks my code which looks for # as a delimeter in a file and provides a messy incompatability with earlier versions of R and with Splus. Is there any chance that this default could be changed to ""? -- Steve
