There is a bug report open, which does talk about Puppet serving plugins from /var/lib/puppet/lib.
https://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/PUP-731 John, you can ping me off-list if you'd like as we're going off-topic, but are you saying that you're successfully using pluginsync with directory environments, and without the need to symlink these types of modules into a common module path (i.e. one your Puppet masters include/look at)? And as for the pluginsync issue, you're right. It relates to which plugins they'll load, my apologies for mixing it up, but it doesn't really matter in the end; it's broken. -Riley ----- Original Message ----- | From: "jcbollinger" <john.bollin...@stjude.org> | To: puppet-users@googlegroups.com | Sent: Tuesday, 28 October, 2014 14:25:04 | Subject: Re: [Puppet Users] Delving into Puppet code -- where should I ask? | On Tuesday, October 28, 2014 3:00:38 PM UTC-5, Riley Shott wrote: | | Hm.

I am inclined to think | that only the first part is true at all. | | What this means is that the Puppet master needs to run in order to sync any | | new plugins before it can distribute them. | | Let's save this for when it's relevant. Victor needs to get environments | working at his master before any of those details begin to matter. | | Your config look correct now since you've changed default_manifests to | | './manifests'. | | The default_manifests setting is a red herring, given that Victor has a | 'manifests' directory in each environment. Moreover, the setting he started | with is the one recommended by the documentation. './manifests' is the | default value for the setting, specifying that is equivalent to not | specifying the property at all (which is in fact a reasonable thing to do). | | Try changing the modulepath value in your environment.conf to this: | | I think Victor said he would prefer not to use environment.conf files, and as | long as he uses the standard environment layout he shouldn't need to do. | Better to keep environment.conf out of the picture entirely until basic | function is achieved. In fact, better to keep modulepath out of the picture | until basic function is achieved, too. It should be enough to focus on the | manifest directory of one environment, and to expand from there once that's | sorted. | John | -- | You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups | "Puppet Users" group. | To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an | email to puppet-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com . | To view this discussion on the web visit | https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/puppet-users/ece2092b-9f12-4016-b21a-5439dee7ef35%40googlegroups.com | . | For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout . -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
