mcollective modules for puppet4

[zdeh...@enphaseenergy.com]

Does anyone have any examples of how to install the mcollective modules in a puppet4 environment?

The yum repos for pc1 do not have the mcollective modules in the repo's path.  They are there, but to get them you need to navigate there with a browser and download them manually, and the rpm's don't install one the correct locations for puppet4.

The few modules I have seen also want to install them in pre-puppet4 locations, and they want to ensure that mcollective-client, etc. is installed as opposed to puppet-agent.

It took me a long time to map the documented installation instructions for mcollective into a working puppet4 install, and I really want to add the file manager, iptables, and package functionality to mcollective, but I'm can't tell if what is available now will even work under puppet4, if I can manage to massage things into the correct locations.

 Thanks,

I'm assuming you're talking about Mcollective plugins...

You can actually use the older puppetlabs repo to install these.  In other words you can have both the regular and the pc1 repos working at the same time.  I've had no issues doing so.  There was one plugin that wasn't included in the repo and I stuck the files into Puppet and distributed them to the correct directories.

Plugins are here:

Install guide is here:

In my case, not with Ubuntu Trusty and Debian Jessie.

Indeed the last time I have tried (2016/01/19), there were issues with Trusty
and Jessie. My detailed explanation are here:
