Subject really says it all. I took the practice exam linked from @PuppetLabs and I was a little bit surprised/caught-off-guard by the number of either PE or Console questions, neither of which I''ve ever used :-! I am taking the developer exam though, so I''m sure that will be at least a little different. Does it make sense to take the exam for an "open source puppet

Hi, I am running an environment with 15 FreeBSD servers on which I want to maintain ports, rc.conf settings, and assorted configuration in /usr/local/etc/. Looked around the existing Puppet docs, I got a puppetmaster and a test client to work and install a package as specified in the site manifest. This is very basic but awesome! I want to create a puppet FreeBSD HowTo that addresses a

I''d like to clarify some points about the ports/package system in FreeBSD. I apoligize ahead of time if this is Both packages and ports use the pkgdb system. This isn''t some lame cludge; it''s by design, and the reason is really quite simple. Packages are built from the ports collection. The only real difference between them is the mode of delivery. When you run

hi, i''ve run into somewhat of a snag with my puppet instances: when i try to have puppet install a port via portupgrade, it seems to step up each version in ports to the latest, if there are multiple versions. i''ve run into this with two ports so far: vim and postfix. my package line is: package { postfix: ensure => latest } i am however able to specify the version

In http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.0R/announce.html says Updating Existing Systems > An upgrade of any existing system to FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE constitutes > a major version upgrade, so no matter which method you use to update > an older system you should reinstall any ports you have installed on > the machine.

Dear members, It may sound a silly question. I have curl installed: # pkg_info |grep curl curl-7.24.0_3 Non-interactive tool to get files from FTP, GOPHER, HTTP(S) Today portsnap updated the ftp/curl port, and patch-CVE-2013-2174 appeared in files/, but the port version remained such that portaudit, and portupgrade still complain about curl's version. What is the recommended way to

How do folks feel about getting Puppet job listings on this list? I''ve rejected a few that we quite spammy, but when the subject matter really is a system admin with puppet experience, the decision becomes a bit different. I''m looking for general feelings. A simple +1 or -1 would be great. Mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups

Perhaps a rather stupid question, but I have not found the complete correct way to upgrade a Samba installation on FreeBSD. I always use the ports to install the newer version, but after a while I discovered that the installation of the new version did not uninstall the previous version, so when you look at the installed packages (pkg_info) you can see all older versions, they can be uninstalled

Hi. I have installed php5 with support for postgresql (php5-pgsql). If I install postgresql-client ver. 8.2.7 or 8.3.x apache (httpd) core-dumps. If I install postgresql-client 8.1.11 or 8.2.6 apache does not core-dump. This is the output (backtrace) from gdb: (gdb) bt #0 0x000000080651c340 in ??

Dear FreeBSD users and system administrators, While the FreeBSD Security Team has traditionally been very good at investigating and responding to security issues in FreeBSD, this only solves half of the security problem: Unless users and administrators of FreeBSD systems apply the security patches provided, the advisories issued accomplish little beyond alerting potential attackers to the

With the upcoming release of FreeBSD 10, the recent release of OpenBSD 5.4, and so on, there''s a bunch of new and interesting stuff happening in the BSD world. I''ve created the puppet-bsd google group, with the hopes that it will become a useful resource for BSD users to puppetize their wonderfully BSD infrastructure. You can subscribe/view here:

I figured I''d take to time to remind you guys of the r/puppet subreddit: <http://www.reddit.com/r/puppet> I''m hoping to see it grow more in the lead-up to PuppetConf, mostly because I want to see some interesting blog posts and such before September ;) Cheers - R.

The gnome2 port is broken? I updated the ports tree two time today, but the result is: rss@DaeMoN:/usr/ports/x11/gnome2> sudo make install clean ===> Installing for gnome2-2.4.0 ===> gnome2-2.4.0 depends on file: /usr/X11R6/libexec/cdplayer_applet2 - found ===> gnome2-2.4.0 depends on executable: gnome-cd - found ===> gnome2-2.4.0 depends on executable: gnome-dictionary -

The included patch is what I''ve been able to throw together in a few hours after studying the pkgtools code. All I''m using the library for at the moment is to resolve the proper base location of the ports tree, but at least by invoking make directly instead of through portupgrade it works *a lot* better. Is there a proper way to include/require a third party ruby library?

All Facebook API requests have a format option that can be set to JSON, which results in a response which is both faster (marginally so, but still) and uses a lot less bandwidth (http://flickr.com/photos/agentdero/1550274105, http://flickr.com/photos/agentdero/1551136674) Any chance of Facebooker supporting JSON?

Hello, I am running a puppet master version 2.7.5 on Centos 5.7 and a puppet agent version 2.7.5. I am simply trying to apply changes to files by defining a file resource in my manifest.

Greetings, I haven't upgraded my tree(s) for awhile. My last attempt to rebuild after an updating src && ports, resulted in nearly installing the entire ports tree, which is why I've waited so long. Try as I might, I've had great difficulty finding something that will _only_ upgrade what I already have installed, _and_ respect the "options" used during the original
