Issue #3510 has been reported by Russell Miller. ---------------------------------------- Bug #3510: Packaging is almost impossible. http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3510
Author: Russell Miller Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: Target version: Keywords: Branch: I ham trying to install the puppet dashboard in a production environment. Because of the way it's designed, it is almost impossible to package it up for an automated install using RPM. Some issues I encountered: - Requires a specific version of rake that doesn't seem to be available with CentOS anywhere (I have to uninstall the RPM which is a *dependency of puppet* and install the gem manually, which potentially breaks a lot of stuff) - Requires the ruby mysql gem with also isn't available with CentOS anywhere - Has no init script for functionality with Redhat/CentOS (I have to use screen to run it at the moment) - and perhaps the most annoying, rake install does nothing but install the correct mysql tables. There is no functionality for installing into a filesystem that can be used with rpmbuild. This is a general criticism I have of ruby apps, but this one is particularly egregious. Do you have anything you've worked on in-house to at least set me in the right direction here? I'd like to spend a couple of days trying to work out the dependency issues, but I'm really busy and have to push forward... -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
