Raspberry Pi Agents

[Michael Stahnke]

In my spare time, I build out puppet-agents for Raspberry pis, because I like pain and ARM boards. 

I finally got Debian Stretch Working for armhf. 

Debian 9

 http://unsupported.s3.amazonaws.com/puppet-agent_5.4.0.412.g8f7446e2-1stretch_armhf.deb

Debian 8

http://unsupported.s3.amazonaws.com/puppet-agent_5.4.0.412.ga221b36c-1jessie_armhf.deb

As the URI implies, unsupported :) I don't always get a chance to update them. Feel free to point anybody at them though.

Hello Michael,

oh, another Puppet on Pi user :)

Any specific reason to drop the pl-build-tools for Debian 9 [1] ?
I have recently build Puppet Agent 1.10.10 for Debian 8/9 on armhf as well...and for RHEL 7 on ppc64 (big endian).
I still found it easier to build the pl-build-tools packages than removing all the references?

Stefan

I'd like to drop pl-build-tools wherever possible. It's a lot more to maintain. When we first started using C++11, not too many OSes had new enough GCC, Boost and friends to make compiling very easy. We ended up having to build out our own toolchains. It wasn't very fun. Now that it's been a few years, most OSes have the requirements built-in. This means we should be able to use system-tools where possible. I'm hoping to get some (all) of that worked on puppet-agent master over the net few months so that anything that can be built without a custom toolchain works that way internally as well. (Master is now what will become Puppet platform 6). Some OSes will have to keep custom toolchains (e.g. AIX, Solaris, older RHEL), but anywhere we can get rid of it, I'm in favor.
