Dear authors of NSD, currently, the manpages that come with NSD are written in the traditional man(7) markup language. I am proposing to rewrite them into the semantic markup of the mdoc(7) language.

Hi All: I develop on several machines, most have Mysql 4.* and one has Mysql 5.0. On 4.*, the following erb for a fixture works fine: updated_at: <%= 1.days.ago.to_s:db%> But fails on 5.0. I had a similar deal when I had date fixtures, and switched forrmats so that both 4.* and 5.0 were happy. is there to_s:db_works_for_mysql_50() ? or similar? Thanks Forrest

Hi all, First off, we''re running Puppet 2.7.6 with Ruby 1.8.7 on CentOS 6.0.

Hello, I did make a stupid fault: not commiting changes to version control :-( After the installation of puppet-dashboard, I added a recipe to add report = true to puppet config files on clients. Now all Puppet clients don''t update because of an error... What can be the various reasons for an ''400'' error?? I guess it has something to do with rights. Jun 28 09:52:36 pm

Hello, I created a module for modifying the base network settings on a machine. However no matter what changes I make it keeps giving me the error "has different MAC address than expected, ignoring" when the network tries to startup.

Hi, In a file resource I want to be able to specify multiple template contents. If the 1st template doesn''t exist use the 2nd listed and so on. Much like how the source attribute works. Basically this: file { "/tmp/somefile.txt": ensure => present, content => [ template("somefile-$fqdn.erb"),

Hiya, I''ve recently updated my svn server so that it checks the syntax of .erb files, on commit, along with .pp files. While doing this, I ran across a small but niggling issue and wanted to see if I was just doing something wrong or if it was a bug. In my sudoers template file, I have a number of lines that start along the lines of: %sup ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL %mon ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL

Hi all, I''m trying to figure out if I can serve a certain template that matches a hostname or serve the default like I could if this was just a file.
