I''m using puppet-0.24.8-4.el5 on CentOS 5.4.

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 *

Hi, I''m a puppet newbie. Is there a way to install an rpm from the files served by the puppet master? If so, what am I doing wrong (see below)?

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

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 All, In all the examples that I see you configure one repo per file; i.e: yumrepo { "testing.com-repo": baseurl => "http://repos.testing.com/fedora/$lsbdistrelease/", descr => "Testing.com''s YUM repository", enabled => 1, gpgcheck => 0, } But how do I specify multiple entries to the same file?.

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

Hello All, How do I specify a variable that has a space in it? I''m trying to setup a yum repo that has two different baseurl''s based on the product name ($productname).

I am trying to get a package (iftop) installed on a test node using puppet but I can''t get it to install. This seems like it should be simple, but I can''t figure out what I am missing. Have done a lot of searching for similar problems and the answers I found seem to be vague in the details and explanation. I have the package added to an internal yum repo. OS is Centos 5.4.

Hello, I just attempted to remove both the ypbind and the yp-tools packages using the package parameter with yum. As it turns out, both of these packages depend on each other. Is there a way of forcing package removal and, if there is not, is there a way of making all packages to be removed be collapsed into the same yum command? Either of these solutions would solve the problem with the

Dear all, Is there any way to enable a particular yum-repo (like: yum -- enablerepo=<repo_name>), which is disabled as default, for a particular package installation? For our system, we need to "dag" for particular two packages but keeping it always enabled, clashes with other packages, which we don''t want to install for dag at all. What''s the option(s) I have to
