similar to: How are people using install.rb from the source distribution?

So I can''t quite see how to do this in the existing syntax. Ideally there would be an onlyif parameter for packages, but that doesn''t seem to be the case. I could create a fact that returns true or false depending on whether the file exists, but that doesn''t feel like the right way to do it either. I could do something like: $file_exists =

So I''ve done some Mac OS X pkgs for the latest Facter and Puppet, as well as a combined mpkg for them both. Jeff McCune and I are doing a fair bit of testing on them this week in preparation for MacWorld, so I wasn''t going to upload them to the official site for another few days, but they''re looking pretty good. http://explanatorygap.net/puppet/Facter_1.3.8.pkg.zip

Hi all, I''m wondering how people are handling OS X package installers that require reboots (e.g. 10.5.3) with Puppet - specifically how you get them to install without totally irritating your users. Specifically my client environment is 100% laptops, and many of them voyage home with users each day so just telling puppet to install them at 1am and to hell with user data*, so

Hi There, I''m implementing puppet for a large scale Enterprise, with a lot of sites and a lot of different setups (for about 1500 Linux and Solaris machines). Now, the time has come to get some management attention, and of course, the first question I''ll have is who else is using puppet.... So I thought it Worth''s a try to ask - who is using puppet in a large scale

Hi all, Does anyone know where I can get a new MacOS X package with puppet...? The newest one on reductivelabs site is 0.23.0... -- Med venlig hilsen Juri Rischel Jensen Fab:IT ApS Vesterbrogade 50 DK-1620 København Tlf: 70 202 407 / Fax: 33 313 640 www.fab-it.dk / juri@fab-it.dk

So I''m still working on a ''perfect'' setup so I can document it on the wiki, and will submit some puppet patches against 0.23.2 next week, but here''s what I''ve done that has made a big difference to stability here. in puppetmasterd at line 261, I''ve modified the Mongrel instantiation from: server = Mongrel::HttpServer.new(addr,

Hi , just starting off with Puppet on Macs. initially we are planning for a small group of machines. If successfull we plan to span it to entire environment in a phased manner. I have a couple of newbie questions. Do i have to use custom script to create and maintain user/group accounts as far as i have read i can manage passwords ? Can i use puppet fileserver also as sourcedir for pushing

Hello, I have 680 hosts reporting into a central puppet server. Yesterday I made a change to site.pp and the nodes/foo.pp and nodes/ bar.pp files to push out some new files (a script to enable LDAP) and it seems that only a handful of stores have downloaded the file and run the script. (I don''t have reporting setup yet other than on a few clients which I did manually) If I ssh into a

I''m about to leave town for three weeks and my home server keeps rebooting. It''s my mail server, unfortunately, so there''s a good chance you won''t get this. :/ Anyway, I''ve been meaning to do this for ages and ages, and it''s time to finally do so. I need to move all of the Puppet lists to a public, non-me provider, someone who has

Hi there I would like to setup my puppetmasterd behind my ADSL modem and manage the nodes on the hosting sites. I can imagine opening ports to the puppetmasterd server will work. Am I right? On the other hand an ideal configuration for me would be a Reverse Proxy setup, so I don''t have to touch the ADSL router. Has anyone setup a puppetmasterd behind a reverse proxy? Any pointers,

Nice time. # make uninstall ... rm -rf //boot/*xen* ... if somebody use "xen" in kernel name (maybe as suffix), so it will be deleted from /boot/ too. Thanks. Denis.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all We''re currently looking at the next release of Facter and the future direction of the tool. I''d like to try and prompt some discussions on facter and what people want from it. As a starter here''s some (although not all) of the ideas we''ll be working through: 1. Namespaces - add a namespace or tiered

hello,all. Is there a have some tools to check the puppet manifests before to use it ? like nagios -v nagios.cfg .the new version puppet client can''t get error syntax message,so ,when have some syntax error I can''t found it. -- Huang Mingyou

My custom external nodes script sets the environment variable, but Puppet ignores it. For testing, I have a manifest that deploys this template to a file: environment = <%= environment %> The output from my external nodes script: --- classes: - devhost environment: development parameters: memcached_memory: ''32'' But running "puppetd --test" results in the

so here are my unorganized thoughts on Passenger settings. * PassengerMaxPoolSize This depends a lot on two primary variables. a) How much RAM you have. b) How much resident memory is needed for your environments/modules. Only way to determine this is with tweaking, and you''ll need to be much more conservative than the suggested settings on the Passenger docs as your app takes up a lot

Hi all, I''m sure you''re all wondering what the heck is going on with development and why there are so many open tickets. Hopefully this email will answer those questions for you.
