similar to: Yumrepo and managing the contents of /etc/yum.repos.d directory...

I was working with yumrepo, defining new entried and seeing them appear in /etc/yum.repos.d After considerable tinkering, and with the sad discovery that resource { ''yumrepo'': purge => true } does not work, I moved my working /etc/yum.repos.d to /etc/yum.repos.d-old and re-ran my catalog. To my surprise, the repo entried were appended to /etc/yum.conf Long story short: I

I''m using puppet-0.24.8-4.el5 on CentOS 5.4. My problem is yumrepo isn''t writing the "name=" field to the repository files which causes yum to complain with the error: Repository ''local-CentOS-5.4-x86_64'' is missing name in configuration, using id I get this behavior on all of my yumrepo definitions. One of them looks like this: yumrepo {

Just upgraded to 2.7.6 and the yumrepo type does not write out our yum configs correctly, anyone experiencing this?

I am trying to set a "subscribe" for a Yumrepo object so that an Exec "yum clean all" is ran immediately after a Yumrepo is changed. With the following setup, I am not seeing the "subscribe" fire off until after Packages that have a require pointing to the Yumrepo["custom"] are attempted to be installed. Is in right to expect that the subscribe on the

hello list.. I am sharing a yum configuration in a class (centos.pp) between two nodes.

My head hurts from trying to figure this out for the past several hours . . . I want to determine what provider to use based on a fact (thanks for the suse version fact btw) but I ain''t gettin it: What''s wrong? Am I going down the completely wrong path? Is there a better way? # suse-yum.pp case $suse_repo_name { #sled10-i586: {Package{ provider => rug}} sled10-i586:

Hi folks, I noticed an interesting problem with the nagios_* providers especially in Debian. Besides writing to the wrong file (I fixed that issue) I''ve noticed there is a umask issue where the config files end up being owned by root with perms 0640. This causes nagios to spit milk out of its nose because it cannot read the configuration files. I came up with a kludgey solution to the

Hello All, How do I specify a variable that has a space in it? I''m trying to setup a yum repo that has two different baseurl''s based on the product name ($productname). Default goes one way, but if the product is "PowerEdge 2650" then is a different URL. The thing is, that is only picking up the default. How should I specify the value with the space in the

Hi, in an attempt to simplify my configuration, and from a suggestion on IRC, I was thinking of using multiple values for file { source => [] }. Was just currious if anyone had any comments on this. Basically, I setup my file-server to use: <snip> [private] path /var/lib/puppet/files/private/%H allow * [shared] path /var/lib/puppet/files/shared allow *

hi All, I''m a bit new to puppet. Is there a mailing list for puppet beginners?:) I have a service module called postfix, which defines file in a class: file { ''/etc/postfix/main.cf'': owner => "root", group => "root", mode => 644, content =>

I am just starting with puppet to replace a ''homegrown'' config distribution system and it is looking very promising, i will be playing with the templating next. I have run into an error when attempting to disable the shipped repo''s with CentOS 4.4. See the relevant info below. This is obviously a problem when repo definitions include multi-line baseurl''s.

Hello, I used to have something like this: yumrepo { "foobar": [...] gpgkey => ["file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/key1", "file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/key2"], } Which as expected used to generate files looking like this: [foobar] gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/key1 file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/key2 It appears this no longer works with 0.24.6. I''m pretty sure it

hello guys, I am trying to incorporate run stages into my puppet setup. I''ve been working with this for a few days and I haven''t quite got the hang of it yet...

Hello, I''m currently running Puppet 0.25.5-1 on CentOS 5.5. Everything has been going swimmingly until a couple of weeks ago, when I began receiving errors on one of my nodes. The node in question is also my puppetmaster, but the errors seem client-related. The errors are: err: //yumrepos::centosbase/Yumrepo[addons]: Failed to retrieve current state of resource: A section with name

I am using an ENC. -- Biltong biltong@fastmail.fm --

Hello All, In all the examples that I see you configure one repo per file; i.e: yumrepo { "testing.com-repo": baseurl => "http://repos.testing.com/fedora/$lsbdistrelease/", descr => "Testing.com''s YUM repository", enabled => 1, gpgcheck => 0, } But how do I specify multiple entries to the same file?.

I''m running puppet 0.24.6 on CentOS 5.2 from a puppetmaster on a virtual server to a variety of client servers both virtual and metal running either CentOS 5.2 or Fedora Core 10.

Hi, I''m a puppet newbie. Is there a way to install an rpm from the files served by the puppet master? If so, what am I doing wrong (see below)? If this isn''t possible, how should I be installing custom rpms? package { "MySQL-server-community": source => "puppet:///files/MySQL-server- community-5.1.40-0.rhel5.i386.rpm" } Thanks in
