Installing 0.24.8 as gem on Debian
Graham Stratton
Lenny system. The puppetd script is not added to my path. Is this a
bug or have I made a mistake?

Gem and real distribution packages collide in unfortunate ways that make
it hard to support gems within distribution packaging and maintain the
guarantees of distribution packaging in sane ways (such as "everything in
/usr/bin is owned by a package"). I suspect that you're encountering one
of those problems.
It's generally better, on Debian systems, to use the standard Puppet
packages. There isn't a 0.24.8 package yet, but I suspect there will be
fairly quickly. Once there is, although it will be uploaded for Debian
sid, you can download it from packages.debian.org and install it on an
older Debian system.

As a point of reference, it took about 2-3 weeks for 0.24.7 to get packaged.
You'll have to get it from the experimental repository, though.

It's not hard to whip up your own package though, if you don't mind it
being a bit ugly:
Grab the Puppet source.
Grab the .diff from the 0.24.7 debian package
Apply the .diff
Fix any conflicts from the .diff
Make any changes you want (like removing the potentially toxic "-w 0")
Hack up the debian/* files a bit, adding a changelog entry to get the
right version # in place.
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
The difference between this, and what a real maintainer does, is that a
real maintainer has a deep understanding of how the package at hand fits
together with the rest of the Debian world, and makes additional changes
(and performs additional testing etc.) to "Debianize" the package more.

I didn't have to download any diffs. Here's what I did:
1. Grab the source tarballs for 0.24.7 and 0.24.8. Untar the 0.24.7
tarball and then rename the tarball to 0.24.7.orig.tar.gz
2. Grab the debian directory for 0.24.7 from git (git clone
git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-puppet/puppet.git) and put it in the 0.24.7
source tree.
3. cd in to the 0.24.7 source tree, and do a dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
4. run 'uupdate -u puppet-0.24.8.tgz', and then cd into the newly
created 0.24.8 source tree
5. tweak the debian/control and sub root's name for yours, and run
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot again to create the 0.24.8 package.
I just did this yesterday, so it's fresh in my mind.

Ah. That diff I applied, did the same as this.

Every time I touch this stuff I learn something new. For example, just
this second I learned (from your message) of the existence of "uupdate".
I'll give it a try next time I need to update a Debian package to a
newer upstream version.
Ryan Steele
sufficiently complex diff's. Luckily, it's always worked for Puppet
on my end. The Debian New Maintainers' Guide has a blurb about it:
http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ch-update.en.html
Glad to have imparted the knowledge unto others that was once imparted
unto me. :)
Eric Gerlach
I'd love it if those instructions made it into the Wiki. The uupdate thing
would be hugely helpful to some other Debian administrators, I'm sure.
Cheers,
Eric

$ mkdir ~/makepuppetdeb
$ cd ~/makepuppetdeb
$ dget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/puppet/puppet_0.24.7-1.dsc
$ wget http://reductivelabs.com/downloads/puppet/puppet.0.24.8.tgz
(currently broken, but I imagine will be resolved soon)
$ dpkg-source -x puppet_0.24.7-1.dsc
$ cd puppet-0.24.7/
$ uupdate puppet-0.24.8.tgz
$ cd ../puppet-0.24.8
$ dpkg-buildpackage
This will produce:
~/makepuppetdeb/puppet_0.24.8-1_all.deb
~/makepuppetdeb/puppetmaster_0.24.8-1_all.deb

this way. I'd like to put a mixture of both of our processes on the
wiki - if I can't do so already, I'll bug jamtur to give me access.

You don't need to bug me. :) All you need to do is create an account
and hack away. There is already a PuppetDebian page I believe.

You're not properly setting your name in the control/changelog file
this way. I'd like to put a mixture of both of our processes on the
wiki - if I can't do so already, I'll bug jamtur to give me access.
It does actually. The uupdate step automatically puts in "* New upstream release" to the changelog.
You might want to tweak versions etc to match internal nomenclature so you don't interfere with upstream packages, but that's it.
