Merely from an 'inventory' point of view, I felt the need to have facts
for reporting versions of installed packages. I wrote the following code,
that creates facts for package versions, based on a file that lists the
packages I am interested in on a particular server. This file can, of
course, be managed by puppet.
martijn:puppet> cat modules/common/lib/facter/package_versions.rb
require 'puppet'
package_list = "/etc/facter/package_versions_list"
if File.exist?(package_list)
File.readlines(package_list).each do |l|
l.strip!
@pname = ""
l.split.each do |p|
if @pname.eql? ""
@pname = p
end
pkg = Puppet::Type.type(:package).new(:name => p)
v = pkg.retrieve[pkg.property(:ensure)].to_s
if !v.eql? "purged" and !v.eql? "absent"
Facter.add("pkg_" + @pname + "_version") do
setcode do
v
end
end
end
end
end
end
martijn@server002:~> cat /etc/facter/package_versions_list
postgresql
php5-common
mysql-server mysql-server-5.1 mysql-server-5.0
Regards,
Martijn.
