Community Package Repos for Puppet Labs products

[Michael Stahnke]

I've had a vision of having packages for Puppet, Dashboard,
mcollective, facter, et al, available in native packaging formats for
as many distributions as possible.

I've updated http://yum.puppetlabs.com quite a bit today.

We have most of what I laid out in ticket
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8473. I've updated RPMs for
el5, el6, f14, f15. Next I'll do el4 and then SLES.

These RPMS are all signed, and the latest released software from Puppet Labs.

I've also created a Redmine Project around Community Packaging. My
goal would be to get help from the community, specifically on our lesser-used
platforms.

http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet-community-pkg-repo

Please use the redmine project to open issues, etc. (This isn't just
for yum either)

Thanks,
Mike

We should try to promote this to the Debian Puppet group, not all of whom read these lists regularly I reckon Mike?

Are there any plans to get the latest puppet and facter into apt.puppetlabs.com?

Of course. I started with yum simply because it was asked for more
loudly, and I know rpm a bit better than the debian packaging. I
welcome any help, reviews, ideas on the debian packaging side (all
sides really).

Michael, thanks very much for these packages, they are quite helpful.
Curious question - is there any coordination with tmz to push these
packages into EPEL?

So I've just started testing these repos and I ran into problems.
First, many of the EL6 RPMs are not signed, so they fail to install
with my standard yum config. In the EL6 products repo, for example,
only 3 of 12 RPMs are signed. The other issue is that the new puppet
dashboard 1.2.1 package is not present at all. Thanks.

I've fixed this. Thanks for filing the tickets.

I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for working on these packages.  Having first class packages like this available is absolutely vital and it's both helped me internally bring up Puppet faster as well as helped me advocate the product to several other people lately by being able to point them to a puppetlabs provided location to get everything.  It's very much appreciated and a thankless job and I hope you'll stick with it!

That's great to hear Ashley, thanks for the positive feedback!

We've very happy we convinced Mike Stahnke to join Puppet Labs and get work like this done too :)

Thanks. This is much appreciated!

Are you considering Solaris in this initiative too? Puppet, Facter, Augeas and ruby-augeas are all available from opencsw.org.

I should look at doing mcollective too - when I have time ;-)

I'd be happy to put Solaris on our website.  This is one of those areas where the community probably would need to drive the effort.

If it helps, I've put together a ppa repository for personal use (https://launchpad.net/~vladgh/+archive/stable).
It's based mostly on the official packaging with some minor changes for the updated source to work. It's tested on Ubuntu Natty
You can use the debian folders as you wish as a starting point:
- https://launchpad.net/~vladgh/+archive/stable/+files/facter_1.6.1-vgh1.debian.tar.gz
- https://launchpad.net/~vladgh/+archive/stable/+files/puppet_2.7.5-vgh3.1.debian.tar.gz

I would be glad to offer my knowledge in order for the community to have a proper debian repository.
