[Puppet Users] puppet on Xen Server

2012-05-31 Thread John Guthrie
Has anyone had any luck installing puppet on Citrix Xenserver? It appears that there is no ruby package for the OS itself, and we ran into dependency issues when we tried to compile our own ruby. Thanks. John Guthrie jguth...@book.com This electronic mail message contains information that (a

Thanks Marin, I have XCP 1.6 installed now. I wanted to see if I could use my default puppet manifests on it but it appears it will be a pain to integrate. -Zane On Sat, Apr 6, 2013 at 5:55 AM, Martin Willemsma wrote: > Hi Zane, > > Because you installed from gems you do not have the config f
