Recommended way to get mcollective working with PC1

[Kenton Brede]

It doesn't look like PC1 includes middleware for mcollective.  I'm not finding documentation specifically for mcollective and PC1.

Is activemq still the preferred middleware?

If so, should I install the activemq (0.0.1) gem or the jruby-activemq gem (5.5.1)?

How can I get the puppetmaster to see activemq if its installed outside the PC1 environment? 

Thanks,

Hi,

See the comment Jo made here [1], activemq and plugins will work.

That does indeed work. :)

Playing around this morning I also found that I could get a working configuration starting with:

puppetserver gem install jruby-activemq

But using the older Puppet repo makes for a cleaner install.

Thanks Stefan,

Kent

Concerning mcollective plugins, I wanted to test but I don't see any mcollective plugins
for Debian Jessie [1]. Is it normal? Have I missed something?

And I have just tested in Ubuntu Trusty but it doesn't work. If I force the
installation of a plugin, the package "puppet-agent" is removed (see the paste
below).

So, with Trusty and Jessie, how can I install mcollective plugins in
"puppet4" nodes? I would like to avoid manual installation.

Do you know where I can find the Debian package sources of the packages below?

- mcollective-*-agent
- mcollective-*-client
- mcollective-*-common
- mcollective-common

Because for instance currently in Trusty I have:

~# apt-get source mcollective-puppet-agent
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Picking 'mcollective-puppet' as source package instead of 'mcollective-puppet-agent'
E: Unable to find a source package for mcollective-puppet

What I did on RHEL was;

- activate puppet-release-PC1 repo

- install package 'puppet-agent'

- activate puppet-release repo

- install MCollective plugin package, ie 'mcollective-puppet-agent' 

Installing MCollective plugin package before 'puppet-agent' then it will try to install the non-PC1 'mcollective-common' package.

It's _exactly_ that I have tried in Ubuntu Trusty and Debian Jessie and I
have the problems which I have described in my previous message, ie:

a) For Jessie, package "mcollective-puppet-agent" just not present in the old
(non-PC1) Puppet repository;

b) For Trusty, package "mcollective-puppet-agent" available in the old (non-PC1)
Puppet repository but the installation is impossible because it involves the remove
of the "puppet-agent" package (because of dependencies).

So I'm very interested to find the Debian package sources (ie the .orig.tar.gz and
the .debian.tar.gz) of the packages below:

- mcollective-*-agent
- mcollective-*-client
- mcollective-*-common
- mcollective-common

Can someone tell me where I can find these Debian package sources?

Regards.
