How to upgrade puppets?

[Stasheck]

I was wondering about it, but I have complete mind-block. How should I
upgrade puppet using puppet?

regards,
Stanislaw

One example for debian:

package { puppet:
ensure => latest,
}

package { puppetmaster:
ensure => latest,
}

OK, but I forgot to tell you - I am installing puppets from tarball,
since many of my machines are Debian Sarge, and there's no packet for
it.

Any other ideas?

regards,
Stanislaw

Backport to sarge?

Sorry, that wasn't very helpful of me.

Take a look at http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/DebianTestingPackages

I do the building of packages myself because of this problem with debian.

this is an example for the 0.24.4 release of puppet:

###snip##

$ apt-get install fakeroot devscripts debhelper dpatch

$ dget \
http://debian.inf.tu-dresden.de/debian/pool/main/p/puppet/puppet_0.24.4-3.dsc
$ dpkg-source -x puppet_0.24.4-3.dsc
$ cd puppet*
[have a look at debian/control, perhaps there is something you need to
modify - I don't remember]
$ dpkg-buildpackge -rfakeroot
$ cd ..
$ dpkg -i puppet*.deb

###snap###

if you still want use tarbar puppet,you can download the package from
puppetmaster or ftp somthing to the puppet client host. then untar the
package,install it. ,at the early ,I use this method.
may be:
class puppet_upgrade {
exec "puppet_upgrade": command=>"wget -O /usr/local/puppet-
version.tar.gz http://url"; # then install it"

}}

Also, take a look at
http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/BootstrappingWithPuppet

I wrote it a while back to show it's quite possible to go from an ancient
version of Puppet (0.22) all the way up to the latest version with puppet and
apt quite easily.

Stanislaw:
We've considered the same issue when putting together our own puppet
installation. Something that we're trying out is creating a custom fact,
latestpuppetversion, that has a hard-coded version number. We then have
a manifest that checks $latestpuppetversion against $puppetversion and
creates a couple of execs if they are different. We're hoping that this
gives us control over how and when we upgrade the puppet distribution on
our nodes, and making it a puppet-managed process should let us roll out
updates gradually if we like.
