Hi again,
From examples I have gleaned the following snippet for manifests/site.pp
Package { provider => $operatingsystem ? {
FreeBSD => freebsd,
#FreeBSD => ports,
debian => aptitude,
redhat => up2date }}
Are there providers documented somewhere? I'm not sure where to look,
and I haven't come across it in my stumbling, googling, mailing list
lurking or docs.puppetlabs.com.
Importantly, what is the exact behaviour of FreeBSD => freebsd versus =>
ports? I can see that => ports uses /usr/ports (which I can NFS mount
for management gains), and => freebsd uses a specified host (or defaults
to freebsd.org), but I'd really like to see the doco, or at least
someone's overview understanding. Can any of you help me?
Cheers,
Greg.
