How to package Hiera 1.2.1 backends?

[windowsrefund]

My hiera-redis 1.0.2 gem creates this file:

/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/hiera-redis-1.0.2/lib/hiera/backend/redis_backend.rb

which appears to not be seen by Hiera 1.2.1 now that it's been packaged as part of a 3.1.1-1puppetlabs1 deb

irb> h = Hiera.new(:config => '/etc/puppet/hiera.yaml')
WARN: Mon May 13 10:12:23 -0400 2013: Cannot load backend redis: no such file to load -- hiera/backend/redis_backend

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Best,
Adam

Hi Adam,

You probably just need to make sure you have brought in rubygems
first. In your irb session just "require 'rubygems'" before you call
Hiera.new.

I think that is all that is happening here, but I may not be properly
understanding the situation you are describing. What do you mean by
"now that it's been packaged as part of a 3.1.1-1puppetlabs1 deb"?

I solved this by repacking hiera-redis from a gem to a deb

gem2deb ftw! :)
