Package: puppet
Version: 0.24.7-2
Severity: wishlist
Hi, I'm running debian, and I'd like to preconfigure packages before installing
them. I was hoping there was a way to do this with before/require and
subscribe/notify, but it gives a dependency cycle error.
What I would like is for something like this:
exec {
"echo -e nullmailer shared/mailname string
maths.unsw.edu.au\nnullmailer nullmailer/adminaddr string
ja...@science.unsw.edu.au\nnullmailer nullmailer/relayhost string
smtp.unsw.edu.au\n | debconf-set-selections":
path => "/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin",
before => Package[nullmailer],
subscribe => Package[nullmailer];
}
package {
"nullmailer": ensure => installed;
}
to become something like this:
if package nullmailer is installed
do nothing
else
notify subscribed exec type
exec preconfiguration
install package
