[Puppet Users] Re: Installing a lot of packages

Hi, You could take a slightly different approch and create a debian meta package with all the required packages listed, then have puppet keep the mata package up to date. Don't know if this helps. Martin On Mon, Sep 14, 2009 at 1:16 AM, Trevor Vaughan wrote: > > -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-

The warrning is beacause xmlsimple was moved (this is a guess), and for backward compatibility it was left there like require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../xmlsimple.rb' I'm guessing that puppet uses both require 'xmlsimple.rb' and require 'lib/xmlsimple.rb'. Long story short because of the '..
