[Puppet Users] Re: SSL issues when testing - This is how to fix

2010-05-01 Thread Brian Granger
Gabriel,

I am running into similar problems in configuring a single client,
single server puppet setup.

This is where I run into problems.  puppetca --list always returns
empty.  I have tried a number of different things (restart the
puppetmaster), remove/reinstall puppetmaster/puppet on client/server.
I don't have a firewall running and my /etc/hosts files are setup
correctly as far as I can tell.

What should I try next?

Cheers,

Brian

Re: [Puppet Users] LF complete recipe bundle

2010-05-01 Thread spawn-puppet
Along this line, I think it would be super useful (for folks new to 
puppet) to have a vmware type image of a working puppet system that 
could be fired up in a player and whose configuration and 
classes/modules were integrated with the documentation.

Hey folks,

I've seen the recipes page and smatterings of "this-and-that", but
what I'd really like to see is a big tarball of someone's entire
/etc/puppet directory on their puppetmaster, to be able to see the
interactions between all the different components.   What would be
really useful is seeing this for a small, medium, and large config.

Is there anyone willing to release that, or is there too much
proprietary info in there?

thanks,
-Alan

[Puppet Users] Watchers replaces voting...

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi all

Thanks to Eric Davis we can now sort issues by the number of people
watching them.  This should make it easier to determine who wants
what and how many people want it.

Up until now this was provided via the voting plug-in.  We're going
to replace this plug-in with this approach.  If you are interested
in a ticket or feature and want to ensure your interest is
registered then please start watching the ticket.

We won't remove the Votes plug-in for a while to allow us to
transition from it!

To do this click the Watch link at the top of a particular issue.

Thanks

James Turnbull

Re: [Puppet Users] status of cpan provider?

2010-05-01 Thread Michael Stahnke
Something to keep in mind is that if you are making your own package
repo for Perl RPMS (or any other type of package), you may want to try
to get them upstream in a repo.  It's not very difficult to become a
Fedora/EPEL maintainer.  I would assume Debian has methods to manage
packages that also include a fairly low barrier to entry.

Part of the drive of the puppet project is to provide re-usable
infrastructure.  An easy way to do that is get packages we all create
into operating system packages repositories, pending good licenses and
such of course.  That way we can all benefit from these packages.  I
know that I have put over 25 packages into EPEL simply because I
needed them at my day job, and decided if I had to maintain the
package once, I may as well do that for everyone else.

I am certainly not saying there shouldn't be a CPAN provider.  But I
really prefer OS packages.
