Hi,
I am new to puppet as well, but I could tell you how to do a similar
install.
exec { "getthesource":
command => "wget http://thesourceurl";,
cwd => "/the/directory/to/issue/this/command/from"
}
exec { "untarthesource":
command => "the_untar_command",
cwd => "the/directory/to/issue/this/command/from",
require => Exec["getthesource"]
}
exec { "./configure":
command => "the/directory/to/issue/this/command/from/configure",
cwd => "as above",
require => Exec["untarthesource"]
}
And the other steps follow in a similar manner.. You should probably check
the exec resource type in the type reference.
.............
But, I think this is not the most elegant way of doing it... There is the
package resource type in puppet which can be used to install packages from
binaries, but yes, I haven't found another way to install from source.
