[Puppet Users] Puppet and yum repositories
I'm running puppet 0.24.6 on CentOS 5.2 from a puppetmaster on a virtual server to a variety of client servers both virtual and metal running either CentOS 5.2 or Fedora Core 10. I want to extend this to servers running RHEL 5 (and 6) in the near future. My problem is I have puppet set up with all repositories (mirrored locally using cobbler) included in one file in /etc/yum.repos.d/kewrepos.repo on the puppermaster. This file contains both Centos and Fedora repos and when I run a yum update I just -- disablerepo=whichever I don't want, which can be done as a cron job. The difficulty is sometimes puppet runs yum automatically, which loops on a CentOS webserver trying to reinstall httpd, getting confused by the presence of Fedora repositories. My question is how can I set up puppet so that I can tell, once and for all, The Fedora boxes to look at the Fedora repos and the CentOS boxes to CentOS repos only? I want to be able to configure unlimited repos in the future for workstations (Fedora) and servers (CentOS or RHEL).

[Puppet Users] Re: Puppet and yum repositories
Hi Brandon, thanks for this. I'm new to puppet and I have also
inherited a setup from a consultant who was at Kew before me.
I don't have a yum module, but I have a yum.pp in /etc/puppet/
manifests/classes which tells the puppetmaster to distribute a
yum.conf and a repos.repo (a list of all local Fedora and CentOS
repos) to the puppet clients. My site.pp contains "include yum". I
don't
have anything anywhere called *.repo.erb. If I made yum just one of
many modules (put it in with ssh, amanda, mysql and all the others)
I would just add a line to /etc/puppet/manifests/modules.pp and add
something like your second snip into /etc/puppet/modules/yum/template/
to point to the local mirrors.
But where should I put this first bit of syntax beginning case
$operatingsystem and what should I call it? My current repos.repo
refers to $basearch and $releasever which are obviously variables set
from facter facts (like in your second snip) but I can't see where
those are set at the moment. Could I just change the current yum.pp to
include the case$operating system?
Help most welcome! Tim
