Issue #8288 has been updated by Bill Proud.
Solaris zones are not really a new feature - they are a core feature of Solaris 10 (first released in 2005). Zones cannot be disabled. Even if you do not create any zones the OS runs in a global zone. So the -G option is always valid but without a non-global zone it will have no meaning. I would prefer this to be a parameter but I'm not sure if I can summon up a really good argument. ---------------------------------------- Bug #8288: Sun package provider should include '-G' flag to pkgadd on install https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8288 Author: eric sorenson Status: Needs Decision Priority: Normal Assignee: Michael Stahnke Category: Solaris Target version: 2.7.x Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: One of our teams ran into trouble using the sun package provider on zoned hosts. Without the '-G' flag, when run on a global zone, pkgadd attempts to install into all non-global zones, which isn't right if the non-global zones also run puppet. According to the man page: <pre> -G Add package(s) in the current zone only. When used in the global zone, the package is added to the global zone only and is not propagated to any existing or yet-to- be-created non-global zone. When used in a non-global zone, the package(s) are added to the non-global zone only. </pre> Locally I forked provider/package/sun.rb and made a one-line change to its 'install' method, please consider taking this upstream <pre> 125c125 < cmd = [] --- > cmd = ["-G"] </pre> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
