Own Package Installscript

[daniel.r...@googlemail.com]

Hi,
i want to use Puppet to install all packages from a webserver (no repository) .
Therefore I wrote following Script:

class install_package {
        case "$operatingsystem" {
                SLES: {

                        notify {"${operatingsystem} ${operatingsystemrelease} detected":}
                        notify {"Installing $packagename now:":}
                        exec { 'installing $packagename':
                                command => "rpm -iv ${repopath}${packagename}",
                                path => ["/usr/bin", "/usr/sbin", "/bin"]
                        }

                }
        }
}

The Script works perfekt if the Variables are inside the Script.
Now I want to use this class for Building a tomcat server.
In this case I have to use the class 2 times.
I tried to change the contend of the variable , but I only get error.

I see no functioning possibility to use the class 2 times and to give them the Variables  $packagename and $repopath.(packagename changing )

I tried to use it in a parametrezied class as following:

class tomcat {
    class {'install_package':
        packagename => "mypackage.rpm",
        repopath => "http://www.something.de",
    }

    class {'install_package':
        packagename => "mypackagename2.rpm",
        repopath => "http://www.something.de",
    }

}

class install_package {
        case "$operatingsystem" {
                SLES: {

                        notify {"${operatingsystem} ${operatingsystemrelease} detected":}
                        notify {"Installing $packagename now:":}
                        exec { 'installing $packagename':
                                command => "rpm -iv ${repopath}${packagename}",
                                path => ["/usr/bin", "/usr/sbin", "/bin"]
                        }

                }
        }
}

that wars also not possible. I
I have no idea anymore. Pls help me

You can only have one instance of a class in a catalog. It sounds like a defined type would suit your use case better. Defined types can be used multiple times in the same catalog as long as they have unique names and don't themselves create duplicate resources. http://docs.puppetlabs.com/learning/definedtypes.html is a good place to start for more information.
