Re: [Puppet Users] Rhel based distro and multiple package version installed

[Nikola Petrov]

You should really build packages of java/tomcat with fpm. It will save
you so much time and hassle in the end. Want different versions of the
same package you just have to name them with the package version - no
problem. 

Let's assume that extract the java distribution in a directory named
java-$(VERSION), just run the following:

fpm -s dir -t deb -n java-$(VERSION) -v $(VERSION) -a x86_64 --prefix /opt 
--provides 
java-runtime,java2-runtime,java5-runtime,java6-runtime,java7-runtime,java7-runtime-headless
 java-$(VERSION)

and you should be good to go. Change this as needed(like architecture,
deb/rpm prefix and the provides)

Re: [Puppet Users] Rhel based distro and multiple package version installed

[Keith Burdis]

Two options come to mind:

1) Install the JDK and Tomcat products from tarball into separate
directories for each version which is what I do with
erwbgy/sunjdk
 and erwbgy/tomcat 

2) Create custom packages for each of the product versions installing the
files into separate directories - for example using
fpm
.
