I am writing a module to configure a Nexus maven repository manager service on a centos5 host.
As far as I'm aware, Nexus isn't available as an rpm, so there is a manual install step. I'm new to puppet so I tried getting it to copy a shell script over to the host to have it: - Extract the tar.gz - symlink the extracted foldername to nexus - symlink nexus/blah/init.d/nexus /etc/rc.d/init.d/nexus - add nexus to check config - enable nexus at boot - start nexus via service. The script works fine when run manually, but obviously puppet runs as the puppet user and getting puppet to exec it dissolved into permissions issues. So I was wondering, what is the recommend puppet way of handling installs of non packaged programs? I have similar problem with installing maven on the same box, but I imlemented it as a sequence of Exec steps, which causes much bloating of the puppet config... And what does the manifest attribute on a Service type do? Is symlinking the init script necessary or can I just specify the init script in the manifest attribute and have puppet work it's magic?
