Issue #3510 has been updated by Michael Stahnke.
Your input has not gone unoticed. Have a look at http://www.kartar.net/2010/04/rpm-and-deb-packages-available-for-puppet-dashboard/ and you'll some activity in developing an RPM and deb for dashboard. Additionally, there is more review work that will occur for the packages to try to get them more compliant with the platforms on which these packages can reside. ---------------------------------------- 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.
