Hello, Is there an easy way to test hiera lookup for a node? A node is not getting the value I expect from Hiera and I want a way to test this. I noticed that `hiera` has an option called `-i` to use the Puppet inventory service. With the latest (RC4 I believe) of Hiera I''m getting the following when I try to use that though: Puppet inventory service lookup failed: NoMethodError:

Puppet Labs is really thrilled to announce, in conjunction with EMC, our new open source bare metal provisioning tool: Razor. Razor is next generation provisioning software that handles bare metal hardware and virtual server provisioning with inventory discovery and tagging, rule-based policy management, and extensible broker plugin integration.

All, Does anyone know of a way to add a file-centric backtrace to the validate functions in the Stdlib? If you use a validator in a defined type, you end up not having any idea what actually threw the error. Though much has moved to parameterized classes, there are still times when defines are useful and it would be nice to know what calling class/define/stack was blowing up. Thanks, Trevor

I have an array: $nodes = [''gfs01'' ,''gfs02'', ''gfs03'', ''gfs04] and a string variable: $brick_store = "/var/bricks" How can I append "/var/bricks" to each item in the array? Lack of a looping construct makes this challenging in puppet. Such that: brick_array = [''gfs01:/var/bricks'',

HI, I''m getting some strange errors when I try to use a variable in a require => Package construct, namely: $packagelist = ["clamav", "clamd", "clamav-db"] package { $packagelist: ensure => latest, } # Above apparently works fine... # ...THEN... file { "/etc/rc.d/init.d/clamd.mimedefang": ensure =>

Hello all, I am developing a few custom providers for some features that I need into my system (such as dealing with different zipped files or generating some JSON data based on OS files) and I have hit into a question about "how to do this for multiple OS?" Lets focus into the zipped file provider that should provide a common method to pack or unpack zipped files (tar, tar.gz,

Hi, I just finished writing this plug-in. I''ve been using rails for awhile but this is my first time extracting some code and writing it as a plug-in and I''d love to hear to some feedback.

Hello, I''m trying to organize a Bay Cities Ruby Group in Southern California. This would include the cities of Redondo Beach, Manhatten Beach, Hermosa Beach, Torrance, Gardena, Lomita, etc. If you are interesting in joining a group that would be like other ruby groups where we discuss tricks, technique, theory, etc. and help each other, then please join the mailing list:

So, some of us would like to be able to set the nice value on puppetd. However, we don''t want all of our services (and some of our execs) re-niced. Would it be feasible/practical to have the ability to set the nice value explicitly on Service and Exec calls?

I''ve been searching around but haven''t found a way to do something like a purge with augeas. If you have a file such as [iniheader] entry1 (managed by puppet) entry2 (not managed by puppet) And you want to add ''entry3'' as well as removing anything not managed by puppet in that subsection then you currently do not have this capability. Is this correct? I

Hello, I'm looking into using libvirt in the near future, however an important part of our workflow is the ability to import and export virtual machines (in VirtualBox). Does libvirt provide an easy way to do this? I couldn't find anything obvious on the API reference. Thanks, Mitchell -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hello, I'd like to get libguestfs to compile on Mac OS X and I've been chugging along quite well. I recently hit an issue in the "./configure" which I don't thin is solvable on Mac without modifying libguestfs autotools scripts but I can easily be wrong: checking for febootstrap... no checking for debootstrap... no configure: error: Either febootstrap or debootstrap must be

Hello, I've done some research prior to this and the answer is clear that libvirtd doesn't compile on BSD or OSX, but I'd like to know more details about this, if I can have a bit of your time: * Are there any current efforts to get libvirtd running on BSD? * What are the blockers to getting it running? * My main goal is really to, at first only control VirtualBox, so KVM/Xen/etc is
