hello puppet list My puppet server is now working quite wonderfully. Thanks go out to all who have assisted in getting it to this point. At this point in time my config is now correctly installing packages according to arch,os and release. Centos is working quite well as of now, but I am attempting to get the ubuntu side of things to work as well. I am frankly more familiar with RHEL under puppet than ubuntu.
Anywho, I was wondering if I could get an opinion on the following situation. Ultimately the challenge I currently face is in how to install the _same_ version of the amanda backup client (3.1.2) across the board for all centos and ubuntu machines. There are currently no repositories (on either side) that I know of that install this particular version. As such I must download the software from the amanda site. rpm handles this quite well on the RHEL side of things, however it appears that dpkg does not download from URLs. Can I have an opinion on the best way to go about this? This is what I have tried: ## puppet error ubuntu root@chrome-fs:~# puppetd -t info: Retrieving plugins err: /File[/var/lib/puppet/lib]: Failed to retrieve current state of resource: No specified source was found from puppet://puppet/plugins info: Caching catalog at /var/lib/puppet/state/localconfig.yaml notice: Starting catalog run err: /Stage[main]/Ubuntu::Amanda/Package[amanda-backup_client]/ensure: change from purged to present failed: Execution of '/usr/bin/dpkg --force-confold -i http://www.zmanda.com/downloads/community/Amanda/3.2.1/Ubuntu-9.04/amanda-backup-client_3.2.1-1Ubuntu904_i386.deb' returned 1: dpkg: error processing http://www.zmanda.com/downloads/community/Amanda/3.2.1/Ubuntu-9.04/amanda-backup-client_3.2.1-1Ubuntu904_i386.deb (--install): cannot access archive: No such file or directory Errors were encountered while processing: http://www.zmanda.com/downloads/community/Amanda/3.2.1/Ubuntu-9.04/amanda-backup-client_3.2.1-1Ubuntu904_i386.deb notice: Finished catalog run in 0.46 seconds ## ubuntu class class ubuntu { class amanda { case $architecture { 'x86_64': { case $lsbdistcodename { jaunty: { package { "amanda-backup_client": source => "http://www.zmanda.com/downloads/community/Amanda/3.2.1/Ubuntu-9.04/amanda-backup-client_3.2.1-1Ubuntu904_amd64.deb";, provider => dpkg, ensure => installed, } } lucid: { package { "amanda-backup_client": source => "http://www.zmanda.com/downloads/community/Amanda/3.2.1/Ubuntu-9.04/amanda-backup-client_3.2.1-1Ubuntu904_amd64.deb";, provider => dpkg, ensure => installed, } } hardy: { package { "amanda-backup_client": source => "http://www.zmanda.com/downloads/community/Amanda/3.2.1/Ubuntu-8.04/amanda-backup-client_3.2.1-1Ubuntu804_amd64.deb";, provider => dpkg, ensure => installed, } } } } 'i386': { case $lsbdistcodename { jaunty: { package { "amanda-backup_client": source => "http://www.zmanda.com/downloads/community/Amanda/3.2.1/Ubuntu-9.04/amanda-backup-client_3.2.1-1Ubuntu904_i386.deb";, provider => dpkg, ensure => installed, } } lucid: { package { "amanda-backup_client": source => "http://www.zmanda.com/downloads/community/Amanda/3.2.1/Ubuntu-9.04/amanda-backup-client_3.2.1-1Ubuntu904_i386.deb";, provider => dpkg, ensure => installed, } } hardy: { package { "amanda-backup_client": source => "http://www.zmanda.com/downloads/community/Amanda/3.2.1/Ubuntu-8.04/amanda-backup-client_3.2.1-1Ubuntu804_i386.deb";, provider => dpkg, ensure => installed, } } } } } } } ## base node template node basenode { case $operatingsystem { centos: { include centos include centos::amanda } ubuntu: { include ubuntu include ubuntu::amanda } # debian: { include debian } } } ## node definition node 'puppet.example.net' inherits default { } Thank you greatly in advance!
