similar to: FOSDEM?

Hi guys, Which puppet operations should i try to avoid? I know that probably the most time consuming operations are file copies, but, is there something from the code point of view that I should try to avoid? I''ve seen for example, that on Solaris, puppet will execute pkginfo quite alot of times - sometimes with a package name, some other times without (pkginfo -l), thats extremely time

The original blastwave.rb would store "no pkg-get in /usr/sbin /usr/ bin" into @@pkgget if pkg-get is not found in the PATH. The patch below modifies blastwave.rb to store the first matching binary in the user''s PATH, or if not found, check the default location (puppetd''s PATH may not be sane) and if still not present and executable, correctly store as nil.

Hi all, As most probably know by now, I''ll be in London and Brussels for the next week, starting Tuesday (well, I leave Tuesday but don''t arrive until Wednesday). That means I''ll hopefully get to meet more of you (I''m giving talks in London Thursday night and in Brussels, probably on Sunday morning), but it also means I''ll have limited access

Is it possible to install a solaris streams package with puppet? As some of my machines are not allowed to be a nfs client, I transfer the bunch of packages to these clients with the file type and puppet:// ... If the packages are in filesystem format there can be hundreds of files within large packages. It takes a huge amount of time to transfer all of them. So I''ve changed them into

Hello, I would like to know on what platforms Puppet runs. I cannot seem to find the information on Puppet''s web site. Bcfg2 has it on it''s front page :-) I know there are .debs and .rpms, but are, for instance, Solaris, FreeBSD and AIX supported? Thanks. -- Guillaume Pratte Recherche et développement Révolution Linux Toutes les opinions et les prises de position

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone is going to FOSDEM 2008 this year. I know Luke can''t come (which is his loss, more beer for me :P) but that doesn''t mean we can''t have a little meetup amongst puppeteers! Just to see some faces behind the nicks and emailaddresses and the like. Like last year, I''m planning on only visiting one day, probably the Sunday. Anyone

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Attached is a patch which attempts to enforce ''proper'' permissions of all files controlled directly by the puppet processes. All owners and groups are explicitly set as are all permissions. The idea is that the Puppet process configuration files should be relatively tamper resistant and at least throw a warning that the

Hi all, Since it looks like I''ll be attending FOSDEM, I now need to find some lodging, and if possible I''d like to line up a presentation or four. Someone in the community offered to let me crash with them if I came to the conference (someone with the nick of ''robk'' on IRC, I think), so I''d like to take that person up on it if possible.

Seems that blastwave is all about pkgutil now. Are there any plans to support this?

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 ;-).

I''ve published the tarballs and whatever bad packages my publishing system knows how to create; look for more official debs, sun packages, and rpms in the near future, hopefully. Note that this is mostly a bug-fix release, and I expect it to be a pretty painless upgrade for most everyeone (but please, test before upgrading). Here''s the changelog: Compile times now

Hi all, I need to write an aptitude provider for Debian. How should it differ from apt? Can I just s/apt/aptitude/g, or do I need to do something else? Any other weird behaviours I should look for or whatever? I''ll make it a subclass of apt (and since Deb seems to specify aptitude as the default now, maybe apt should subclass aptitude), so any dpkg answerfile work should work on

I am trying to get Puppet to push out a Solaris sudo package that I built, but I keep getting errors. I tested applying the package manually outside of Puppet and it works perfectly, but when I attempt to push it out via Puppet it fails.

Hi all, I''ve just implemented a [crude] manifest to apply a set authorized_keys file to the root account of a puppet client. class rootssh_test { file { "/root/.ssh/authorized_keys": owner => root, group => root, mode => 0600, content => template("rootssh_test") } } The template has two ssh id_rsa lines in. When the client applies

Hi all, FOSDEM is coming and it would be nice if CentOS users and developers are present. FOSDEM will take place at 24 and 25 february 2007. (so mark those dates in your calendar!) I guess what we need is a wiki page about FOSDEM linked from some 'CentOS events' page and then people can start planning and indicating who's coming and what the topics could be. Since the developer

hi I''ve read about PuppetReporting at the Trac website. Apparently you are working on integrating the benchmark tests for every type in ruby. Do you have any idea when this will all get implemented? This is a crucial part (and actually a necessary feature) in the configuration management system we have set up using Puppet. grtz Koen Vereeken
