I have some middleware where the successful configuration of node B is dependent on the successful configuration of node A. Node B must pull additional information from node A during its configuration. Is there any built in functionality in puppet for checking the completion status of other nodes? Right now my intent is to write a custom function to query the puppetdb which is storing

Hello, What would you think of moving database, database_grant and database_user types and providers from puppetlabs-mysql to its own module (puppetlabs-dbproviders for example) so that we can develop providers for others RDBMS ?

I''ve been using puppet for a while, and have built up quite a range of my own very (very!) basic modules to do what I need to do.

I don''t want the module to manage the

Hi everybody! So for non-automated physical/manual application of single specific patterns or sets of puppet patterns on an entirely manual basis, what is best practice and/or where is it described?

In resolving bug 15980, the pip package provider was changed to recognize the RedHat osfamily fact and use the executable name "pip-python" in those environments. This does not take into account environments where pip has been installed via easy_install or by custom rpm providers. In those environments (such as mine) this osfamily change breaks the pip provider, requiring as a

I''m assuming they aren''t supported, but
