Hi.
I'm trying to create a bunch of types to manage an installation server
via cobbler. However, I don't really understand how to do it.
For example a cobbler repository is actually a record describing a YUM
repository. This could be a local mirror. So there are some
variables/properties describing such a repository:
name, source-URL, architecture, wether to mirror locally
Let's assume I have a few scripts I could use to do various tasks (i.e.
I will use shell scripts for now, to make the cobbler type (and, if
needed, provider(s)) simpler and more easy to understand, but would
implement the logic in ruby later. I have:
repo_update_or_add name url arch local
(updates the repo named or create it if it doesn't yet exist)
repo_exists name
(returns 0 if a repository with the given name exists, 1 otherwise)
repo_up_to_date name url arch local
(returns 0 if the repository exists and is up to date)
repo_delete name
(removes a repository)
Where up to date just means the parameters (i.e. is set to have a local
mirror when this is requested), not necessarily that the local mirror is
in sync with the original source.
Now, how would I write type (and if needed: provider(s)) if my
requirements are that ensure can take:
- present (just make sure the repository is known, not necessarily in
sync with (all) parameters)
- absent (remove repositories which were once installed
- insync (known and in sync with all given parameters)
I did write a preliminary type, but it doesn't seem to work at all (see
below). I put the attached file in
/etc/puppet/modules/puppet/type/cobbler_repo.rb as per
http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/PluginsInModules, with
effective puppetmasterd configuration containing:
modulepath = /etc/puppet/modules:/usr/share/puppet/modules
But still I get:
err: Could not retrieve catalog: Could not find resource type
cobbler_repo at /etc/puppet/manifests/classes/cobbler.pp:171 on node
op-inst01.wirecard.sys
Could anyone please help me?
regards,
Sven
