Pulling our whole puppet master from SVN is indeed an option. It seems like a bit of work, but it's possible.
The issue of trying to unit test a puppet install seems to be somewhat addressed by the Puppet solution, although I could see that we could either poke a node.pp manifest onto the real Puppet Master and then run "puppet apply" on our test VM, or else build a 'fake' Puppet Master in the manner you suggest. I guess I could do that on a build box, and then have the it spin up a VM, and have the VM just puppet off the build box. I see a great deal of funky scripting in my future ;-) Thanks everyone for your suggestions - it's all been very helpful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
