I am using a puppet 2.7.9, and ruby 1.8.7 So, I cant use these moduley things, unless I additionally install "puppet-module". I cant install an officially "released" version of puppet-module , unless I install "gems", it seems. (which, oddly, is not part of core ruby) I cant even install a source version, unless I install git... and even then, there's no nice "install.rb" file like puppet and facter have... I have to apparently install yet ANOTHER tool, rake? :( Lemme know when your "easy module installation tool" is actually easy to install itself, please. Having a one-stop-shopping install.rb file would be one way to accomplish this. It's rather backwards, when your "easy" puppet configuration tool, is more difficult to install than puppet itself. No, sadly, I cant upgrade our version of puppet at this time. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Developers" group.
