For the solutions to the exercises I would send an email to
f...@puppetlabs.com as stated on the first page of 'Learning Puppet'. I
think it would be good to make them available.
For your case, it is not quite what it should be. But as there are many
things to learn, you'll get there.
First thing is just for cleaner code, you can shorten duplicate entries
to one line, like this:
case $operatingsystem {
centos, redhat: { $gcc = 'gcc' }
}
As you can see, I also single quoted the variable, because that's
according to the Style Guide[1]. I see that this is wrong in the example
as well.
Second point, is that you can't really use require like that. Maybe the
text pointed you in the wrong direction, what it means is that
Debian-type systems actually need two packages. So for the code this
would mean:
case $operatingsystem {
centos, redhat: { $gcc = 'gcc' }
debian, ubuntu: { $gcc = [ 'gcc', 'build-essential' ] }
}
You assigned an array to $gcc, and the package resource will use both of
the values in the array.

Hello Everyone in the Puppet World,
I'm fairly new to Puppet. I'm still learning the basics. I actually
just got done completing the learning section covering variables,
conditionals, & facts over on this page:
<http://docs.puppetlabs.com/learning/variables.html>
Here's my situation... I've completed the exercises near the bottom of
the page. I'm not sure if my manifests are right or not. Am I writing
the code properly? Do I have the concept down? It is hard to tell. Is
there a place online we can find solutions? Would anyone be willing to
look over my code?
ANY help would be greatly appreciated!
For the first exercise: Use the $operatingsystem fact to write a
manifest that installs a build environment on Debian-based (“debian,”
“ubuntu”) and Enterprise Linux-based (“centos,” “redhat”) machines.
(Both types of system require the |gcc| package, but Debian-type systems
also require |build-essential|.)
I have attached a screenshot of my code here...
Have I done this correctly? Is anything missing? Thank you in advance!
