similar to: Provider features

One of the *big* benefits of providers is that it is now easy to document the different backends available to you. Puppet will automatically collect all of the docs for your providers and stick them in the autogenerated docs page. For instance, check out the package docs: http://reductivelabs.com/projects/puppet/documentation/ typedocs.html#package I''m also adding what the

Hi all Luke Kanies suggested that I take this up here since his memory on the subject was a bit poor. I am trying to cat various files together into one file. According to the documentation "sourceselect => all" might do this. From the language reference [1]: "Whether to copy all valid sources, or just the first one. Valid values are first, all.""" Giventhe

Hi all, again. It looks like my last attempt of sending this message got cut off, at least it looks like that in the archive[1], so I''m trying again: <rerun> Luke Kanies suggested that I take this up here since his memory on the subject was a bit poor.

Hi all, I''ve just published the long-awaited new release of Puppet. Yes, I accidentally skipped 0.21.0; oops. Important features in this new release are: - Graphing Puppet now uses the GRATR[1] library to do all of the internals of managing relationships between resources. This gives Puppet a lot of functionality internally, but it also makes it possible to produce simple

Hi I¹m not sure if I¹m misunderstanding, however, when I try the following: class thttpd { package { thttpd: version => "2.25b-4.2", source => "http://dag.wieers.com/packages/thttpd/thttpd-2.25b-4.2.el4.rf.i386.rpm" } [snip other code] } On fedora core 5, the ³source² is ignored: yum is used to pull the package from the upstream repos listed in

Ok, given the statement on the web page about unlesssystemuser under Resources ( http://reductivelabs.com/projects/puppet/documentation/typedocs.html#resources), I assume that users can be purged. However, when I attempt to do this with resources { user: purge => true, noop => true } and what I get is: err: Found a bug: private method ''split'' called for nil:NilClass.

I''d like to be removed from the puppet-users email list... but I cant find my name on the webpage.

Hi all, Turns out there''s a small backward compatibility problem in 0.22.2. If you''ve got clients in older versions sending reports to a daemon running the newer version, you''ll run into a problem because I renamed the Puppet::Metric class to Puppet::Util::Metric. I''ve committed a fix to svn, but it''s not a big enough problem to require a new

Hi all, I''m proud to announce that I seem to have pushed a new release of Puppet out in record time. This is a minor upgrade, mostly bugfixes and small features, but there are lots of each. See the changelog[1] for an idea of what this release provides, but keep in mind that this changelog is my first real attempt at keeping an up-to-date changelog. Enjoy! 1 -

As promised, I''m trying to extra more data out of Puppet''s internals, and this is one I''ve been wanting to do ever since I developed the idea of provider suitability. I''ve created new type of ''reference'' (although it''s more of a report than a reference) that can tell you which providers are functional on the current platform,

Mr. Kanies, If you would not mind filing the bug, it would be appreciated.

Hi all, I''ve finally released 0.23.0 (only two days late!). You can get it from the usual locations (although the packagers will take a little while to package it up, I assume): https://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/InstallationGuide You can read the full changelog[1], which is pretty long, but here''s a summary of the things you either want or should look out for:

OK, too bad. I could work around it of course by adding ''unless'' and ''creates'' clauses on all the individual parts of the define where appropriate, but I think I''ll just ignore the warnings and overhead for now. It would be cool, though, if something like the ''unless'', ''onlyif'', etc, logic was available for all

Hi all, Paul Anderson, a friend of mine who works at the University of Edinburgh, is looking for complicated problems that are currently difficult to handle with existing config mgmt tools. Please read his request below, and if you have any difficult problems that seem to meet his needs, I''d appreciate it if you would send descriptions of them to him. Thanks, Luke Begin

Hi all, In looking at the current bug list for elmo[1], it''s pretty clear that this is a lot of work, and some of it is kind of segmented into related chunks. Additionally, a good bit of it has an impact on backward compatibility, although in nearly all cases I expect to be able to remain entirely or almost entirely backwards compatible. Given that, would people prefer that I

Hi all, Is everyone switched over to the Google lists? I''m basically ready for the switch, I think, and doing so would be one more closed loop for me. I notice we''ve only got a bit over 300 subscribers to the Puppet Users list, while my madstop list has nearly 600. This is a bit depressing, but it probably represents a better idea of who''s actually using the

Hi all, I released 0.23.2 last night; you can get it from the usual places [1]. Apparently Matt has already uploaded debs. This is a bug-fix release, and I''m hoping it will be stable enough to supplant 0.22.4. It looks pretty likely that I''ll be putting out another release very soon, though, because a coworker of Matt''s has figured out a way to use HTTP

Hi all, I''ve now got all but one bugs closed or bumped to the next release, and I am planning on releasing today. People have been testing the SVN code all week and have helped to find many bugs that we would not have wanted in a released project, and you can help more by testing right now. The major change in this release is that the transactions now use a graph library to

Hi, I''m experimenting with using Mongrel to serve XMLRPC, and I''m having trouble passing the XMLRPC errors on to the client. In my webrick implementation, I just raise the XMLRPC error and the client receives it and can handle it like a normal exception. With Mongrel, when I raise the error, Mongrel catches it and just closes the client connection, which means the
