Hi all We''ve just released version 0.3.4 of the puppet-module tool used to create and retrieve modules from the Puppet Labs Forge (http://forge.puppetlabs.com). You can update using Ruby gems: $ gem install puppet-module There are several important changes in this release: * Add ability to install modules with hyphens * Add check for symlink when installing * Install modules to their

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

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

I''m looking at re-working or replacing install.rb from the source distribution to allow more flexible installations, primarily to get MacPorts and Fink packages working but to also work on automatic Mac pkg creation from source. How are people currently using it? Currently the command line options are for options like --no-rdoc, --no-man, --quick, --full, but if you want to specify a

Seeing ''SSL_read'' errors being logged by puppetmaster. Anyone know what causes these or how to correct?

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

0.25.5 changed the default vardir from /var/puppet to /var/lib/puppet and it''s caused the odd issue we have to fix in the Mac pkg preflights. After re-reading ''man hier'' I''m tempted to change the default on OS X to: /var/db/puppet instead. /var/ multi-purpose log, temporary, transient, and spool files ...

Reminder for Mac Puppeteers going to WWDC How about we meet for lunch at noon on Tuesday. Let''s try to get the table closet to the Odwalla refrigerator, just for reference. We can get more specific on this list on the 8th after we verify the set up. I might even get there a little earlier and put down "reserved" tags. --- Thank you, Allan Marcus Solutions Architect Central

Is it normal that "facter --puppet" does not show the environment variable? is there a way to have it include it?

Hi, Why doesn''t puppet resource group tell me who belongs to the group? Given the group such as: mg_team:x:501:smruph, cosman, msmith, mhankey With the command: puppet resource group mg_team only returns: group { ''mg_team'': gid => ''501'', ensure => ''present'' } I was expecting: group { ''mg_team'':

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 we run puppetd as a long running ruby process on the hosts. When we update a fact that gets auto sync''d to the host it seems when puppetd wakes up and starts its catalog run it doesn''t re-sync the facts. It you run it standalone it will or if you restart the service then it will do the right thing. Do other people see this? Or have you all gone to running out of cron?

I''m new to Puppet, and I''m a software developer, not a sysadmin, so be gentle. I have puppet managing some files via templates, and one of the template variables that needs to be plugged in is a password of sorts that shouldn''t be generally available. In particular, it can''t be stored in the manifest, as that''s stored in version control, and the

i''ve been reading docs and blundering my way through a simple puppet client/server setup between two test hosts (puppetmasterd on server 10.5.8, puppet client on client 10.6.2) and am wondering if there''s any current definitive guide for configuring puppet for os x systems. it also seems the gems installed on my client with ruby 1.9.1 as default don''t work very well

packages.debian.org is lagging in terms of what it''s showing, but.... $ rmadison -u debian {puppet,facter} | grep unstable puppet | 0.25.4-1 | unstable | source, all facter | 1.5.7-1 | unstable | source, all they''re both up there now. -- nigel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

I want to manage cronjobs as a " file " in solaris through puppet and not using the puppet cron resource. I will be managing the file /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root. I want the cron file to be same across all servers except some servers will have additional cron entries. How can I append to the file /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root , something like appendifnosuchline in cfengine? Can
