This seems to work but it does seem perilous and ugly. A meta description of
what I am trying to do is:
- install firebird sql server
- replace the 'security' file with a known file
- restart the firebird service
I'm not going to include firebird::install class because the part that worries
me is that I can't work on /var/lib/firebird/2.1/system/security.fdb directly
because we will want to maintain it locally after installation. I only want a
single shot deploy. So I am linking to /root/security.fdb and then copying it
from there to it's home. I suppose there is a much better way to do this but I
haven't found it.
My worry is that I never actually overwrite
/var/lib/firebird/2.1/system/security.fdb after the initial install/configure
phase is completed.
class firebird::configure {
file {"/root/security.fdb":
source => "puppet:///modules/firebird/security.fdb",
owner => root,
group => root,
mode => 640,
replace => false,
}
exec { "Copy KNOWN security.fdb into position":
path => "/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin",
environment => "HOME=/root",
command => "/bin/cp /root/security.fdb /var/lib/firebird/2.1/system",
user => "root",
group => "root",
logoutput => on_failure,
require => Class["firebird::install"],
}
}
Is there a better way?
