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>

Has anyone managed to find a nice and easy way of upgrading to Ruby 1.8.4 on Debian stable? I''m not too adverse to installing an extra repository, and would like to avoid compiling it myself. Stability isn''t a *major* issue; this machine won''t be in ''real'' production. There''s nothing particularly obvious when searching Google. I''m

Hello. Hope you can help me further. I can vaguely remember that once I saw a reference how to preconfigure debconf in puppet manifests. So you can define answers in debconf inside of manifests. No idea where anymore. Anybody knows? greetinx Christo

Hello all, puppet hangs while trying to restart a daemon when the associated config file changes, here the log: Mar 19 11:30:04 ingentTest puppetd[27390]: Starting Puppet client version 0.22.0 puppetd[27390]: Starting configuration run puppetd[27390]: (/ingenttest/qualsevolnode/guaita[guaita]/File[/etc/guaita.conf]/content) synced puppetd[27390]:

Hello, I have been running multiple exec scripts that could run in parallel. Does puppet run as much as possible in parallel? If it does not, is there a way to specify that actions may be run in parallel? Also, is puppet a multiple or single thread application? Thank you, -- Rob -- ____________________________________________________________________________________ Sucker-punch spam

How can I express the following in puppet? $http_conf = "/etc/http/conf/httpd.conf" $vhosts_conf = "/etc/http/conf/vhosts.conf" @files = ("$httpd_conf", "$vhosts_conf") foreach f (@files) { file { "$f": owner => root, group => root, mode => 664, source => "puppet://$server/apache/$f", }

I''m trying to manage network files on two nodes, "vico" and "backup." The component "vico_network" below works fine. define vico_network ($owner = ''root'', $group = ''wheel'', $mode = ''644'', $cro_int = ''ne3'', $carp0_skew = '''', $carp1_skew =

Hi all, Just reading through Luke''s interview on computerworld.com.au and I came across this statement: "This topic comes up on the list periodically, however, and most people are very tight-lipped about what they''re doing with Puppet." Being the chattermouth that I am, I''d like to take this opportunity to tell you all what we''re (that is, my

OK, I started down this road a few months ago and got side tracked with project work. I have a class called "install" that I want to use with only machines on one protected subnet. In my site.pp file, among other node entries, I have - node default { install } The class itself - class install { case $domain { "test.example.com": { file:

Can you wildcard a domain for a node name like the following? node ''*.sub.example.com'' { .... } Thanks, Kent

Greetings! Are there any plans of using Kerberos for authentication in addition to (or in place of) SSL certificates in Puppet? Kerberos provides mutual, cryptographically strong authentication. A number of different services are Kerberos-enabled (SSH, NFSv4 and HTTP are common examples), and thus use the same authentication mechanism system-wide. At our site, almost all services and users are

The following works fine but is there some way to make it more succinct? Thanks, Kent class obsd_etc_static { file { "/etc/mygate": owner => root, group => wheel, mode => 644, backup => main, source => "puppet://example.com/obsd_static/mygate" } file { "/etc/rc.conf": owner => root, group => wheel,

Following Luke''s very successful Puppet talk at GLLUG in London, which was so over-subscribed there were people queueing outside and pressing their little faces up against the glass, I wonder if the market will bear a London Puppet meet? If there are more than two or three people interested it might be worth arranging something, perhaps a pub session where we can talk about what

Hi everyone, we just found out that when invoking puppet with sudo on redhat/centos (with no magic bash_completion), some providers don''t get recognized due to missing absolute path for the provider''s command. for example: useradd has in /usr/lib/site_ruby/1.8/puppet/provider/user/useradd.rb: commands :add => "useradd", :delete => "userdel",

I''ve just noticed that Puppet is failing to automatically apply changes when running as a Red Hat service. Changes get applied with no problems or errors when I run Puppet manually with "puppetd --test" but fail with a "Could not apply complete configuration: Parsed Providers must define a default target" error in /var/log/messages when the service runs automatically

I''m having this issue where "puppetd -v -o" hangs (won''t return my prompt) when starting a daemon I wrote. If puppetd is running as a daemon a zombie process is created each time puppetd tries to start my daemon. Puppet detects when the daemon is down and starts it just fine. I''m using version 0.22.3 on RHEL 5. Here''s the class. I''ve

How are people upgrading puppet itself on their hosts that run puppetd? Can puppet be used to upgrade to a new puppet package via gem, rpm or some other package provider? How do you handle restarting? Just hoping theres a better way than "ssh and a for loop" or having to have another configuration management system installed.

We have a Xen 3.0 / Linux kernel 2.6.15 machine with the domU''s configured for shared /home directories. One of the domU''s is an NFS server, exporting /home, and the other domU''s all mount this. It all functions fine, but it''s pretty slow. I tried untarring a recent Linux kernel tarball. On the NFS server domU this takes about 25 seconds. I didn''t
