Issue #1798 has been updated by konrad rzentarzewski.
it's a pity that puppet can't do this and core team is only interested in patches. we've got around it few years ago by not touching puppet, but rather parsing local catalog cache and comparing with chkconfig output. it will work only with rh-like systems (ie. centos), but feel free to use it as workaround: http://pastie.org/5383638 ---------------------------------------- Bug #1798: Fix to allow resources {service: purge => true}... https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/1798#change-76687 Author: Ido Rosen Status: Re-opened Priority: Normal Assignee: Nigel Kersten Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: 0.24.6 Keywords: Branch: The service resource type needs an ensure => absent option so that it is compatible with purging of unmanaged entries. Here's a patch to add an alias for it. I've tested this patch. In lieu of changing the way purging of unmanaged entries works, perhaps there should be a requirement that types support ensure => absent? resources { service: purge => true } # will disable all services not explicitly enabled in your manifest after applying this patch, ensuring only the services you want running are indeed running... Here's the patch: <pre> diff --recursive --unified puppet-0.24.6.orig/lib/puppet/type/service.rb puppet-0.24.6/lib/puppet/type/service.rb --- puppet-0.24.6.orig/lib/puppet/type/service.rb 2008-07-08 09:46:19.000000000 -0400 +++ puppet-0.24.6/lib/puppet/type/service.rb 2008-12-05 12:25:03.000000000 -0500 @@ -64,6 +64,10 @@ aliasvalue(:false, :stopped) aliasvalue(:true, :running) + # in order to make resources { service: purge => true } work + # properly every type should support ensure => absent. + aliasvalue(:absent, :stopped) + def retrieve return provider.status end </pre> -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
