The wiki - directions and ideas
Hi all
Luke and I have been discussing the wiki and how its future development
might pan out. As a result I thought I''d canvas people for feedback.
Currently the wiki''s layout and structure is fairly ad hoc and it''s a
mix of wiki mark-up and REStructured Text (RST). We''d like to make it
more "manual" like or at least move a significant portion of

problem with remotefile definition
Hi,
I''m exploring Puppet and have hit a rather weird problem.
The puppetmaster server is running CentOS4, fully updated, with puppet
installed from the dlutter RPM repo, version 0.20.0-1.el4.
I tried adding the remotefile function definition from
http://reductivelabs.com/projects/puppet/documentation/installation.html
in /etc/puppet/manifests/utils/remotefile.pp but when I start

Overriding types?
"Service and class definitions are scoped just as variable assignments are."
But what about types?
Here''s an example:
class solserver inherits server {
remotefile { "/etc/shadow":
mode => 400, group => staff,
source => "solall/etc/shadow.server"
}
Is it possible to just override the "/etc/shadow" definition for

Writing definitions to support changing defaults
What is the right way to write definition so that defaults can be overriden?
$puppetdir = "puppet://$server/files"
define remotefile($source, $owner = "root", $group = "root", $mode =
0644, $backup = false, $recurse = false) {
file { $name:
mode => $mode,
owner => $owner,
group => $group,

$name causes weird behavior
I tried using $name in this manner:
remotefile { "/etc/auto_direct.local":
mode => 644,
source => "solall/$name"
}
(The remotefile function is handy, BTW)
When I use $name here, instead of specifying the actual path to the
file (solall/etc/auto_direct.local), puppetd ends up making
/etc/auto_direct.local an empty directory.
Shouldn''t $name

Could not set file on ensure: undefined method `[]'' for nil:NilClass
Hi,
I had a working puppet setup using version 0.22 until the ruby security
patch bit me. I tried upgrading server and clients to 0.24.1 however my
old manifests don''t seem to work anymore. When I run puppetd on the
client I see lots of messages like:
err: //Node[waterbuck]/yumupdater/Remotefile[/etc/cron.hourly/yumupdater]/File[/etc/cron.hourly/yumupdater]/ensure: change from absent

use of $name
Hello
The following chunk is within a class definition. ${name} is being
exchanged with an empty string:
remotefile { "/${server_xml}":
owner => tomcat, group => tomcat, mode => 600,
source => "${ftoe_src_prefix_dev}${name}.jvm1"
}
However in the following chunk, lower down in the same class
definition, ${name} is being exchanged

FreeBSD Ports, remotefile() problem
Howdy,
Found out about this project while looking for via ONLamp''s FreeBSD
build system article. After finding cfengine a tad arcane, this project
seems like a good fit for my setup. I''m still at the tinkering phase,
but I envision this thing bootstrapping and maintaining several FreeBSD
installs which have different CPU''s and packages.

Conditional exec
I am trying to write a definition that downloads and extracts a tar
file if the destination directory does not exist. The tar file won''t
change and does not need to be download and extracted if it changes.
The definition I am using now is:
define remote_tar($source, $directory) {

source => $source,

services do not get restarted
Hello List,
We are using puppet to manage a growing number of Debian Etch based
servers (currently 70). Since upgrading to 0.22.4 we encountered
a problem when services do not restarted on puppets request.
For example the Nagios remote plugin executor daemon (nrpe). It''s running
daemonized and its confiugration is located in /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg. This
file is managed through puppet

Definition specialization
There was a discussion a while ago about adding inheritance to
definitions. There is a need for a way to specialize parameters while
allowing passing other options. This comes up with remotefile where
it would be nice to have a default server location but not specify all
the parameters (and their defaults) in the definition.
Was there a change to the syntax? Is there a way to accomplish this?

xenU
Hi,
When building an xenU guest kernel do you need to make ARCH=xen ?? as I am
trying to build a kernel that includes a patch for abi-sco that has parts
build against i386 and I believe that this is causing the build not to work.
Any ideas welcome.
Thanks

Installing a file only if a package is available
Hi,
is there a way to make sure a file is installed only if a certain
package is installed on the client?
e.g. I want to distribute the client key for NX via puppet. However I
only want to install these files if package ''freenx'' is installed on the
client.
I tried adding ''require => package["freenx"]'' but then puppetd complains

Use of variables in defines...

I''m banging my head against the usage of variables i defines. Fx. I

New Client Problems
I am having SSL difficulties setting up a new puppet client:
Client: fedora (rawhide) using 0.23.2

Markdown and Wikis
I would like to have a wiki that uses Markdown as the markup
language (or something very close), I've currently used PmWiki
and I really like it but there are some problems with using
Markdown so I'm interested to see if there is an alternative
that works better for me.
I've looked at wiki matrix and searched for and found the
following list
