Packages via puppet

[AAB !!]

Hi,

Many packages have many questions during installation, how can I answer those when installing them via puppet ?

apt-get install xyz has many question about the package I am installing, how would I do it via puppet ?

Regards

[Martin Alfke]

The package provider has a response file attribute.

puppet describe package:

- **responsefile**
A file containing any necessary answers to questions asked by
the package. This is currently used on Solaris and Debian. The
value will be validated according to system rules, but it should
generally be a fully qualified path.

hth,

Martin

I do not use Debian, but using a search engine with "puppet debian
responsefile" lead me straight to
