Hi everyone, first post. I've got Puppet installed on a FreeBSD 8.3 client & server from the guides, and deploying simple packages from the default node and a node which inherits it. I have /usr/ports mounted via NFS from the puppet server.

I have two queries now:

1. For more complicated packages, a config dialogue comes up (i.e. cd /usr/ports/category/port; make config). How do I automatically configure that, with settings to my choosing? I suppose I could push out the relevant /var/db/ports/port/options file - is that recommended, or is there something better?

2. /usr/ports/distfiles/ doesn't always have the package files available, especially if the given package isn't installed on the server. This causes installation to fail. How should I go about instructing the puppet server to cache those files? To do it manually:
cd /usr/ports/category/port; make fetch
Of course I don't want to do it manually!

Cheers,
Greg.
