In regard to: [Puppet Users] Install RPM package via puppet, Sixthmoon said...:
I have the package added to an internal yum repo. OS is Centos 5.4. Puppet
version is 2.6.2-1. The module is "utilities". This is a working production
environment. (Person who set it no longer around) As a verification item to
note, I have added a custom fact to the "utilities" module and it correctly
being picked up by the test node.
I have added the following to init.pp
class utilities {
package { "iftop":
ensure => "present",
source =>
'http://yum.repo.internal/misc/iftop-0.17-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm'
}
}
package { 'iftop':
ensure => present,
require => Yumrepo['your-repo-name-here'],
}
You should also have a
yumrepo {'your-repo-name-here':
baseurl =>
'http://your.host.here/repo/CentOS/$releasever/$basearch/',
enabled => 1,
descr => 'whatever',
metadata_expire => '300',
}
somewhere in your catalog.
You've already done the parts that a lot of people seem to want to skip;
specifically packaging the software and creating a local repo with the
software in it. You just need to define your repo to puppet and then
use a very standard "package" resource to make it present.
Note the yumrepo resource type supports a lot more attributes, which you
may wish to investigate.
