Problems building puppet 3.x for SLES

[Jagga Soorma]

Hi Guys,

I am new to puppet and have a mix of both RHEL5.x and SLES11.x servers in my environment.  I have been able to build the puppet client with some modifications on RHEL5.x with the spec files just fine but can't seem to build for SLES11.x.  I was wondering if anyone here is using the puppet 3.x client with SLES11 yet?  If so, do you know what the best way is to install all the dependencies and the puppet client for SLES11.x.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
-J

Which part isn't working for you? What have you tried? Are you
building locally on a sles box or using something like open build
service?

Here are some of the issues I have been running into.  So, I downloaded the puppet-3.0.1.tar.gz package and I am using the ext/suse/puppet.spec file to build puppet.  Here is the error I was getting:

--
..snip..
+ /usr/bin/install -Dp -m0644 '/var/tmp/puppet-3.0.0-1-root-root%{_confdir}/logrotate' /var/tmp/puppet-3.0.0-1-root-root/etc/logrotate.d/puppet
+ /usr/bin/install -Dp -m0755 conf/suse/client.init /var/tmp/puppet-3.0.0-1-root-root/etc/init.d/puppet
/usr/bin/install: cannot stat `conf/suse/client.init': No such file or directory
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.43842 (%install)


RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.43842 (%install)
--

So, I got around this by adding to the spec file (don't feel like I should be doing this though):
%{__cp} -a %{pbuild}/ext/suse/client.init %{buildroot}%{_confdir}/client.init
%{__cp} -a %{pbuild}/ext/suse/server.init %{buildroot}%{_confdir}/server.init

Now, I get a bit further but it exits with the following messages:

--
..snip..
+ /bin/mkdir -p /var/tmp/puppet-3.0.1-1-root-root/usr/share/doc/packages/puppet
+ cp -pr COPYING LICENSE README examples /var/tmp/puppet-3.0.1-1-root-root/usr/share/doc/packages/puppet

I was able to build/install facter-1.6.16-0.  However, hiera builds fine but complains about the following dependencies for SLES that I can't find:

--
# rpm -Uvh hiera-1.1.1-1.noarch.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
    ruby(abi) >= 1.8 is needed by hiera-1.1.1-1.noarch
    rubygem-json is needed by hiera-1.1.1-1.noarch

Hi,

try this SPEC https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21671126/puppet-badoo.spec

and that source https://dl.dropbox.com/u/21671126/puppet-3.0.1.tar.gz

works fine on sles 11.*

[Jagga Soorma]

Thanks for providing that spec file, lead me to add the following to the files section of my spec file:

%{_bindir}/extlookup2hiera

That seems to have solved the problem.  Will continue to build using my spec file with that change and hopefully that will work.

Thanks again for sharing that spec file.

Regards,
-J

Okay, so now I am running into more problems.  I installed the new puppet rpm without any issues, but when I try to run it I get the following errors:

Here are the ruby versions and I do have 1.8.7 installed which is needed for puppet 3.x versions:

--

# rpm -qa | grep -i ruby
ruby-devel-1.8.7.p72-5.21
rubygems-1.3.1-2.10
ruby-doc-ri-1.8.7.p72-5.21
ruby-shadow-1.4.1-2.2

rubygem-rake-0.8.3-1.20
ruby-1.8.7.p72-5.21
--

I don't have rubygem-json installed so thought I would build it and run into this issue:

--
# rpmbuild -bb rubygem-json.spec
error: Failed build dependencies:
    rubygem(rake) is needed by rubygem-json-1.4.6-1.x86_64
--

However, rubygem(rake) is installed:

rubygem-rake-0.8.3-1.20

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I was able to install rubygems-json as well by making the following changes:

--
# diff rubygem-json.spec rubygem-json.spec.ORIG
35,36c35,36
< BuildRequires:  rubygem-rake
< #Requires:       ruby(abi) = 1.8
---
> BuildRequires:  rubygem(rake)
> Requires:       ruby(abi) = 1.8
--

# rpm -qa | grep -i json
rubygem-json-1.4.6-1

# rpm -qa | grep -i hier
hiera-1.1.1-1

However, puppet still wont work for me:

Not really sure where to go from here.

Working packages for SLES, and all current SuSE releases, are available in open build service. These are the packages that feed the distributions.
