[Puppet Users] Set environment variable that is visible to package installation

We have RPMs which requires an environment variable to be set prior to installation (contains conf information). What is the best way to do this? I'd like to avoid setting this environment var in each systems' profile. It would be nice to have an option to do this within the package type, bu

Re: [Puppet Users] Invalid resource type anchor.

I also believe that stdlib needs to be in the same directory of the referenced (or specified) module path. In other words, if moduleA is in /etc/pupppet/modules, then stdlib needs to be in the same parent directory as moduleA. Consequently, if moduleB is in /var/temp/puppet/modules, std needs

[Puppet Users] testing for truth, are the docs correct?

According to the documentation at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/2.7/reference/lang_conditional.html#if-statements, you can test for truth with syntax like this: if $is_virtual == 'true' { AFAICT that's not the case. The quotes around 'true' make the comparison always fail. Here's

[Puppet Users] Multiple Puppet Masters Sharing .pp files?

We have a few different offices. I am looking to setup a puppet master in each location. I would like them to all have the same node definitions so that all offices are working off the same recipes. Is it possible if we have an nfs share that is accessable to all puppet masters that the .pp fil

[Puppet Users] Beginner: Cannot find class from a very basic manifest.

I'm very new to puppet so this is probably going to be the most trivial thing but I've been working on this problem for way too long. I'm creating a Virtual Machine and am using puppet to ensure the four programs that I need installed are there every time I boot up the VM. These four programs a
