You only need activeMQ in one spot to do mcollective stuff. So, the Puppet Server is an acceptable place to do that. If you're not yet using mcollective, then you don't need ActiveMQ at all. Mike On Thu, Jul 26, 2012 at 11:41 AM, Hai Tao wrote: > on the puppet server ( i have only one), shou

No, it updated all the PHP packages that were mentioned in the manifest. There were about 20 listed, and no actual install happened. I'm betting that it uses a default action of Latest, and just updated them all behind the scenes. But I'd expect a logged action on that, as well as a comment
