I''m running puppet in a local VM to do some testing, and all of our systems are behind a proxy. I''ve got the http_proxy environment variable set properly, but when I try to use puppet module install <foo> it doesn''t seem to honor it and can''t connect. I used wget to download it, but even when I use modulepath it still tries to connect to the forge and

Hi, I''m testing puppet from the subversion trunk. I have a rather hacked-together system to install a CRM into one of my nodes, which worked (more or less) with version 0.19.3. When I tried to do a puppet run on a completely clean node it seemed to stall on the ''compilation'' part (I do an exec of ''perl Makefile.PL'' in the appropriate dir). When I broke

Hi, Ubuntu Lucid has a very outdated puppet, 0.25.4 according to: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/puppetlabs_package_repositories.html#for-debian-and-ubuntu I did this to "enable the repository": wget http://apt.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release_1.0-3_all.deb sudo dpkg -i puppetlabs-release_1.0-3_all.deb but this still does not result in installing an up to date puppet apt-get

Hi I¹m not sure if I¹m misunderstanding, however, when I try the following: class thttpd { package { thttpd: version => "2.25b-4.2", source => "http://dag.wieers.com/packages/thttpd/thttpd-2.25b-4.2.el4.rf.i386.rpm" } [snip other code] } On fedora core 5, the ³source² is ignored: yum is used to pull the package from the upstream repos listed in

Hello Everyone, I''m looking for a way to install packages from source via puppet, I was able to locate maybe 5 posts on this subject which is very strange, as I would expect people to still use ./configure with their own customized options. For example, I need to compile Curl with c-ares support, for that I need to set an option for ./configure but can''t find a way to do it.

Hello everyone, I have one puppet client that suddenly stopped applying configuration changes during the. I''m running with -v to see errors - no errors are shown and the puppet run completes with: info: Caching catalog for <system name> info: Applying configuration version ''1349982313'' notice: Finished catalog run in 49.28 seconds However, the changes required

All- I''m using puppet 2.7.14. I''ve reviewed http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/2.7/reference/modules_fundamentals.html but it doesn''t seem to cover what I''m attempting. Consider a module layout like this: $ tree mymodule mymodule |-- Modulefile |-- README |-- manifests | |-- init.pp | |-- special_type | | `-- prereqs.pp | `-- special_type.pp

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.

Hi- I've been trying to install the hier.part package on my mac (OSX 10.3.7) and it is not working for some reason. I am downloading the package source called : hier.part_1.0.tar.gz. When I try to auto install from the cran site, I get this message: * Installing *source* package 'hier.part' ... ** libs /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/bin/SHLIB: line 1: make: command not

Hi. I''m getting lots of warning like this one from puppet-lint: WARNING: line 67 has more than 80 characters Now, I don''t like warnings, so any idea how should I rewrite this line for example, to void the warning? package {''rpmforge-release'': ensure => ''0.5.2-2.el6.rf'', provider => ''rpm'', source =>

Afternoon all. I''ve been reading around on Puppet and Oracle, and have come up with a few links that suggest how to get Oracle installed and base configured, which has got me started in the right direction on that. My next challenge is maintaining Oracle database specific configuration on the relevant hosts. This contains various elements, such as /etc/oratab, /etc/oranfstab (as

This is still a draft, not ready for commit yet. But feedback is welcomed. This series is related to the problem of inefficient import of OVA files. The needed enhancements of QEMU was merged into the codebase and should be available in QEMU 2.8. From there we can use 'size' and 'offset' options in raw driver to tell QEMU to use only subset of a file as an image. The first three

From there we can use 'size' and 'offset' options in raw driver to tell QEMU to use only subset of a file as an image. The patch set is more or less complete. The only outstanding issue is the missing detection

Hello Puppet List, I''m writing a module that should take an optional value and I want to get it (amongst other places) from Hiera. $repository = $::java_repository ? { undef => hiera(''java_repository'') default => $::java_repository, } But this fails because Hiera raises an error if it can''t find a value. I later want to do something like this:

dir(all=TRUE) returns the file names "." and ".." while dir(recursive=TRUE, all=TRUE, include.dirs=TRUE) does not. I always filter out the "." and ".." entries and was wondering if anyone would mind if dir(all=TRUE) just omitted them? It might make recursive file operations like cleaning out a directory safer, as unlink(recursive=TRUE, dir(all=TRUE,

Hello! Now that we''re two weeks in it''s time for another update on what''s been going on in the module team. We focused on puppetlabs-ntp and puppetlabs-firewall as our two primary modules, but also merged in fixes to passenger, rabbitmq, mysql, apt, and apache. As a result of this work we''ve released: http://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/apache/0.7.0

A couple of patches cleaning up the -i ova code. These are both just refactoring (or should be at any rate). The second patch is best viewed with 'git show -w' to exclude whitespace changes. Rich.

v7: - rebased because patch 1/3 has been pushed - changes to nsplit have been dropped (2/3) - addressed Richard's comments, notably the subfolder function was moved to mllib and renamed to subdirectory v6: - just rebase v5: - rebase, patches 1,3,5 were merged - 1/3: we still need to discuss whether to detect compressed discs - 2/3: - renamed argument noempty to keep_empty - tests were
