Pkgsrc also works on Red Hat. We use it here for a few things. The other thing that occurs to me is that with pkgsrc on non-NetBSD systems, you end up with a mixed package system where core OS packages are provided by RPM (or SVR4 pkgadd/pkgrm or whatever) and the extended packages are managed using the pkgsrc toolset. There might also be namespace clashes between the two package systems, since they use different package databases. Can puppet easily enough refer a package resource to an alternative provider? cheers rob --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
