Re: [Puppet Users] Re: newish puppet on RHEL4 and/or SLES9?
I know I haven't responded in a while, but thank you to everyone who
gave advice/experience/encouragement. Progress has been slow, mainly due
to other projects, but at this point I'm trying to hold off on building
my new master (even though it's really needed) until I have a built and
tested maximum version of puppet on the old OSes.
I've decided to tackle RHEL4 first, as I think it will be easier, and
I've got more of those boxes to deal with. This morning I got a
successful build of ruby 1.8.7-p299, using Karanbir Singh's RHEL5 srpm
from
http://centos.karan.org/el5/ruby187/SRPMS/ruby-1.8.7.299-4.el5.kb.src.rpm.
Unfortunately I couldn't get ruby-tk to build for 64-bit, but I just
gave up on that and wrapped it in an 'ifnarch x86_64'.
Assuming all goes well, I should have the rest of the dependencies, as
well as (hopefully 2.7.somethingNew) packaged for RHEL4 by the end of
the week. I'll likely post my specfiles and srpms somewhere public.
As to SLES9, I found a thread here from 2 years ago (Installing puppet
0.25.5 on SLES 9 64 bit,
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/puppet-users/0GaSd3Z2BSQ)
where Thorsten Biel reported packaging ruby 1.8.7 on SLES9 x86_64. It
looks like the specfile/SRPMs never made it anywhere public, but I've
dropped him an email in the hopes that he still has them. If not, I
guess I'll tackle that when RHEL is done.
Thanks Again,
Jason Antman

Mark, I was able to compile puppet via the spec file included in the source up to version 2.7.5 on RHEL4 (32 and 64-bit). I can't remember the issues I had with 2.7.6-9 right now, but it had to do with the ancient ruby (1.8.1). I did grab the requisite dependencies (augeas-libs, ruby-augeas, facter) from the EPEL. I haven't had any major issues with that version using the default system ruby. Makes me feel better that someone else has to support EOL relics as well. Hope this helps.
