Hi all, I''m Benjamin Sonntag, I''m one of the AlternC project developpers. AlternC is an opensource mass-hosting control panel software suite based on debian. We are working on a new version of this control panel, and we want to make the less and the best work we can for this version. So, as usual, we are using as much free software as we can, and we started to use puppet for

Hello I want to share some common subroutines between my custom functions. Given the way Puppet loads the .rb files in $plugindest/puppet/parser/functions, does anyone know how should I lay this out? I tried creating a module myutilities def self.blah() ... end end (NOT within the newfunction() call) in one of the (top-level) functions'' .rb file. However, calling

Hello, I''ve recently begun looking at Puppet as an alternative to Cfengine and I have a couple of questions. 1) Besides the information posted on the Puppet website, are there any critical differences between Puppet and Cfengine? 2) Does Puppet allow for client-specific file text manipulation. For instance, in Cfengine I can add a line of text to a file if the line doesn''t

Hi there, I want to manage some files with puppet that control the installation of packages in Gentoo (/etc/make.conf, /etc/portage/*). These files must be downloaded to the client before any package resource is processed, so they are installed correctly. Is there any way to do this? Possible solutions: 1. Include in *every* package require => [ list of files ] inside a case statement, so

Hello. I can't find a gsm plugin for XMMS. How do Unix, Linux, BSD users listen to gsm samples ? Regards...Martin -- While you don't greatly need the outside world, it's still very reassuring to know that it's still there.

Hello, I have noticed that, since version 1.1.4, autotest/autospec does not run any of my specs. After getting a hint from http://b.logi.cx/2008/10/9/non-auto-spec, I dove a bit deeper into the code and found that spec is no longer being run by ruby. I monkey-patched Autotest::Rspec in my .autotest file so that spec is again executed (using code taken from version 1.1.4). autospec is now

So I have the following: define nagios::service ( $nagios_template = ''service-template'', $host_name = $fqdn, $service_groups = '''', $contact_groups = $default_contact_group, $max_check_attempts = 3, $dependency = false, $dependent_host = $fqdn, $dependent_service = '''', $check_command = '''' ) {

Hi All, I have been bashing my head against the wall with this template problem. I have tried numerous variations on this, but the gist of it is this: When I create a template of over 105 (or so) lines, I get various strange error messages. Those messages vary depending on very tiny changes with the template (such as adding a single text line or variable). Sometimes the errors look like this:

I''d like to keep the desired and current states of a machine regarding it''s configuration. Sometimes a chain of administrative commands is needed to get a special thing (re)configured on a machine, e.g. reconfig of a suncluster. This cannot be done with puppet in an easy way. In the majority of cases, these commands change appropriate files, which reflect the current

Is there an easy way to list which puppet daemons a puppetmaster controls? ... and from that, is there a way of getting the puppetmaster to store a copy of their compiled configuration somewhere? Thanks, mike

For those of you out there using export/collect (which we really need to come up with a better name for...), can you test the current SVN code? I''m mostly wondering if the performance is any better. To use it, you''ll have to remove your current database, since the database schema is significantly changed. I''m getting what looks like an additional 25% reduction

I don't know anybody who has S-plus these days, but I expect some of you might, and perhaps you won't mind telling me something. I'm working on my presentation about R for the general audience. As I survey the suggestions from this list about that project, I find myself wondering whether S-plus benefits from R. Does S-plus syntax change like R's does. I can take code for S and

Hi all, I''ve just merged in support for builtin Nagios types into the 0.24.x branch, and I''d like people to give them a once-over before I incorporate them into a release (based on a few (hopefully small) outstanding bugs in 0.24.1, I expect I''ll put out a 0.24.2 in the next week or so). The only thing I''d currently consider a gotcha right now is that

Why doesn''t the yum provider support version, I tried added ensure -> ''ver'' and it barfs up (on clients) with: <snip> err: //stan.gbuild.org/any-host/java/Package[j2sdk]/ensure: change from 1.4.2_12-fcs to 1.4.2_13-fcs failed: Package provider yum does not support specifying versions at /etc/puppet/manifests/classes/ java.pp:13 </snip>

Some of you probably already read this: http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=129236621626462&w=2 Interesting...I wonder what is the impact of all this on FreeBSD code. We may very well suppose that any government or corporation funded code can theoretically have some kind of backdoor inside. --Andy
