And if that doesn't work for you there are two other considerations - - some people need to maintain their own patches for facter & puppet. At this point puppet labs has accepted all of my patches upstream but sooner or later I expect to encounter a situation where I need to maintain patches of my own. - having a single package manager for the puppet stack means when I want to see my installed puppet version I only need to know one command - gem list. So it's easier than having to know the commands for six package managers. And my installed puppet code is always in /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems no matter what platform I'm on. Now the best solution would be for every Unix to just standardise on a single package management system. Debian's one is quite good. Now, there's an ideal world for you. :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
