[Puppet Users] Nested defined resources

I'm working on a module to handle creating and populating Python virtualenvs. Without going into too much detail, basically these are nicely-encapsulated environments into which python packages can be installed and run. It's not uncommon to have several virtualenvs on a system, potentially with t

[Puppet Users] Virtual Resources realization problems

I'm somewhat new to Puppet. I'm trying to establish some Virtual Resources so I can realize them based on a TAG. The error I continue to get is: Feb 16 18:02:38 test-fms puppet-agent[8590]: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Syntax error at '201001'; expected '}

Actually it's working now. Sorry to report it's bitter-sweet solution, as I don't seem to be able to identify the exact root of the problem. I had a template that was updating the namespace.conf file, and it wasn't including the server where I was running puppetrun from. I know sounds a bit va

[Puppet Users] Re: execute resources only when told to

The issue with that is that I have to change the policies on the puppetmaster each time I want to upgrade, and then make sure to remove the include after it runs on each host so that it doesn't attempt the upgrade twice (which wouldn't cause issues, but it leaves the window open for user error - ie

Hi, I'm looking for a way to have puppet kick off an upgrade of my companies software, but only when it's somehow 'told' to. In cfengine you can provide classes from the command line (such as upgrade_code) and then have parts of the policy only work if those classes are defined. Is there anyway t

Rather you can use in your epel.repo: includepkgs=puppet puppetmaster foo bar etc. and it will only utilize those packages from the greater assortment. We (MNX Solutions) also run a repository for a lot of common packages you may be looking for if you'd like a back-up http://yum.mnxsolutions.co

In the docs it says one must add a line to the /etc/hosts file with the name "puppet" and the IP of the puppet master. This isn't a possibility for us as the IP is subject to change. Is it possible to configure the puppet clients to look for a specific domain to find the master? eg. "puppetmaster.m
