That's exactly what we are doing (I should have perhaps be more clear) > Puppet can then be set to 'latest' for those packages and > trigger the redeployment based on that change. > This is exactly what I want to do, however those application are not package as rpm or deb but simply zipfile. Indeed, the applications are Java based application runned by daemontools. We simply unzip them and let daemontools start them. "In lieu of" Yum or Apt, we use Ivy. But even if we were to use Yum/Apt, and set upgradeable to the appropriate package, I don't think (or I didn't understand something) that it would trigger the puppet to upgrade automatically, as soon as the package is made available by the CI tool (in our case Hudson). ... or I miss something ? > That gives a much more robust, repeatable, and automated deployment > solution that ensures you push only if things are work.
