Save your sanity: set up a local yum repository (look into /usr/bin/createrepo) and configure both the repository software (web server, site config, directory structure) and the client yum config via puppet. Then you can use the package type to declare it on various hosts: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/type.html#package Example: class myrpm { package { 'foo_bar': } } node "myhost.me.com" { class { 'myrpm': } } If this is something that you absolutely must do by the end of the day on a Friday because some manager is a maniac, you can deploy the rpm via a file resource and then install it by specifying alternate package type parameters: class myrpm { $myrpm = '/tmp/foo_bar_1.0.rpm' $myrpmsource = "puppet:///modules/myrpm/foo_bar_1.0.rpm" $mypkg = "foo_bar" file { $myrpm: source => $myrpmsource, } package { $mypkg: provider => 'rpm', source => $myrpm, require => File[$myrpm], } } node "myhost.me.com" { class { 'myrpm': } } With the above I am assuming that your classes are in modules (save your sanity, use them). More on modules: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/2.7/reference/modules_fundamentals.html http://docs.puppetlabs.com/module_cheat_sheet.html Also remember dependencies: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/metaparameter.html#require And more generally: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/language_guide.html > How would I deploy this to all hosts that talk to my puppetmaster? > Thanks > Chris > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Puppet Users" group. > To post to this group, send email to puppet-users@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > puppet-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users?hl=en. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
