I''m using puppet-0.24.8-4.el5 on CentOS 5.4. My problem is yumrepo isn''t writing the "name=" field to the repository files which causes yum to complain with the error: Repository ''local-CentOS-5.4-x86_64'' is missing name in configuration, using id I get this behavior on all of my yumrepo definitions. One of them looks like this: yumrepo {

What is the best way to create a repo? I like to take baby steps, and test things as I go. Is this kind of development style possible with puppet? My hope was to do something like: Have 1 ec2 vm open that will be my test vm where I will manually install e.g. mysql or nginx, and then look at what files I will need to work with. Make modifications to my puppet repo, then commit and apply the

I have some questions in terms of how to use puppet of configuration management for software patches. My previous approach was it to create a puppet module for each patch ... Like Patch1 includes (FileA, FileB, FileC), Patch2 includes (FileD, FileE)... So far so good and that works but now i have to create a Patch3 with lets say FileF and FileA included. As you can see there will be a puppet

Hi, in an attempt to simplify my configuration, and from a suggestion on IRC, I was thinking of using multiple values for file { source => [] }. Was just currious if anyone had any comments on this. Basically, I setup my file-server to use: <snip> [private] path /var/lib/puppet/files/private/%H allow * [shared] path /var/lib/puppet/files/shared allow *

My head hurts from trying to figure this out for the past several hours . . . I want to determine what provider to use based on a fact (thanks for the suse version fact btw) but I ain''t gettin it: What''s wrong? Am I going down the completely wrong path? Is there a better way? # suse-yum.pp case $suse_repo_name { #sled10-i586: {Package{ provider => rug}} sled10-i586:

Hello, I''m currently running Puppet 0.25.5-1 on CentOS 5.5. Everything has been going swimmingly until a couple of weeks ago, when I began receiving errors on one of my nodes. The node in question is also my puppetmaster, but the errors seem client-related. The errors are: err: //yumrepos::centosbase/Yumrepo[addons]: Failed to retrieve current state of resource: A section with name

hello guys, I am trying to incorporate run stages into my puppet setup. I''ve been working with this for a few days and I haven''t quite got the hang of it yet... When I attempt my puppet run this is the error I see: ------------------------------------------------ [root@chromews21 ~]# puppetd -t err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER:

I was working with yumrepo, defining new entried and seeing them appear in /etc/yum.repos.d After considerable tinkering, and with the sad discovery that resource { ''yumrepo'': purge => true } does not work, I moved my working /etc/yum.repos.d to /etc/yum.repos.d-old and re-ran my catalog. To my surprise, the repo entried were appended to /etc/yum.conf Long story short: I

hello list.. I am sharing a yum configuration in a class (centos.pp) between two nodes. But the yum configuration doesn''t apply at all to one node even tho it does to another identically configured node. ## packages are failing to install via yum on one ec2 aws instance and another identical ec2 instance works fine [root@kromep2 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5.5 (Final)

For example, I have a bunch of package resources defined for packages which are contained in the yum repositories defined by the yumrepo resources. If the package is installed first, then it will fail because the repository is not available. I know about "require". But I would prefer not to add a direct dependency on the source repository. Is there an easier way to do this? What

Default goes one way, but if the product is "PowerEdge 2650" then is a different URL. The thing is, that is only picking up the default. How should I specify the value with the space in the

I am trying to set a "subscribe" for a Yumrepo object so that an Exec "yum clean all" is ran immediately after a Yumrepo is changed. With the following setup, I am not seeing the "subscribe" fire off until after Packages that have a require pointing to the Yumrepo["custom"] are attempted to be installed. Is in right to expect that the subscribe on the
