control-repo how to use the profile setup

[Alex Samad]

Hi

I am using the control-rep from git (https://github.com/puppetlabs/control-repo)

it has site/profile/manifest/<profiles>.pp

I am creating a profile for standard install of java.

There is a file I would like to associated with this profile / class.

But I have created

site/profile/manifests/myjava.pp   << a file not a directory. so I am unsure where do I put the file resource ??

do I change myjava.pp to a directory and place myjava.pp into myjava/manifest/init.pp and place the file ?? which path of the tree.

I would like to be able to download the file from puppet and then I want to be able to rpm install it

the rpm is the oracle rpm

New to puppet here, but I used this to handle my java dependency.

but !  I don't want to use the rpm / package from the distro (Centos), I want to use the one from oracle. I had hoped to use puppet for storing that. I have a repo setup and could add it there.

It was a 2 part question, 1 to solve the package problem, the other how to use the download from puppet web site. I remember from the training module you can store files in classes

Alex,

It looks like puppetlabs/java has a defined type to handle getting the oracle version of java (https://forge.puppet.com/puppetlabs/java#usage). The link has some examples of using the defined type to install oracle java 6 and oracle java 8.

I've done something similar for managing Oracle Java installation... 

I've created a 'base::software::java' class [1] within a site 'base' module, but you could equally do this in your profile I guess... 

As you can see from the class, if the '$source' param starts with 'puppet', then it's treated as a puppet fileserver path, and the RPM file is copied from the corresponding location on the Puppetmaster. 

This could be within the 'files' subfolder of your site module [2] or a separate file server path on your Puppetmaster [3][4].

I then call the 'base::software::java' class wherever it's required. An example is [5].
